Hi 3.0L V6 Engine owners.
I've noticed the smell of fuel in the oil when I check the oil level with the dipstick.
I remove and insert the dipstick a few times, wiping the dipstick clean with paper towel each time.
The odour of fuel is prevalent on the paper towel.
I mentioned this to our Dealer's Service Dept and one of the Tech's stated it's normal.
I'm thinking it's not normal (especially after reading a post by bballr4567 here:
http://www.terrainforum.net/index.php?topic=1141.msg13747#msg13747[/color] where bbalr4567 states "It also stated that our old oil had fuel in it. "[/color])
and will again bring this up next oil change which is coming up very soon.
We have somewhere around 10,500 km on the vehicle since new.
If you're a 3.0L V6 owner and you have a chance, please post up whether you detect the odour of fuel in your oil.
Many thanks in advance for any feedback.
