Long term reliability?

Ive personally owned 2 (the first of which had north of 100 different flashes testing it with) and neither one had a bit of a problem with dilution. I think it is a mania of sorts that started up in Canada. There was a problem enough to issue a bulletin about but they aren't buying back many cars over it lol.

An entire parking lot worth of tenth gen owners subjectively smelling the "dilution amount" of gas in there motor oil just seems silly to me.

I agree, and honestly, as far as how bad it is, I am not sure. I just know we can smell it. my 2020 and the 2018 EX-T smelt the most rich. now, UNLESS that's just how synthetic smells then please enlighten me.. I come from an 2006 5.3lt chevy silverado and the oil was standard in it .. so maybe its just the synthetic? I'm not trying to be ignorant but, I honestly don't know if there is even a difference in smell between the two.

Lastly, only one of the other guys are from Tyler. the other two drove an hour away. they didn't seem to smell as rich as us locals did.

Smelling gas in the oil is really of no concern unless your level is raising considerably on the dipstick. I've owned my car coming up on three years and it's only gotten better over time. The first year my level had raised and I drained some out. Last year no dilution in the warmer months and only minor in the winter. And this year virtually none at all even in winter at -30C.

Did the people that smell the fuel do an oil analysis? I'm at 25k and only had 0.5% fuel max.

I have not actually, I just noticed this saturday so its new news to me. They will be doing it in the next few days. One guy has 109k miles on his car so I think he should.
He is right about the winder time being a problem. I bet during summer, it will slow down a bit.

Yea, I have not yet owned it in anything under 50F so once summer hits ill get to see how things are running then.

Running Rich or what?
No tune, just running for logs. I had some octane booster in my tank and im sure there is still some in there.
I wont be adding anymore though.

14.7 is the perfect burn and what all of ours target at idle and light cruise.

Looks normal but your trims are a better indicator of the corrections the computer is using to get it there.
