Hey y'all, my 2012 5.0 has a strong smell of gas in the oil (switched to full synthetic already) and strong smell of gas when started up. The CEL hasn't come on, and other than a recent tiny drop in MPG, no problems. I have almost 4k miles on it. I've searched and can't find where anyone else is reporting this problem. Or is it even a problem?

 

If there's a strong smell of gas in the oil, then there's probably gas in the oil. That's not good for the engine, so I'd get it looked at to find out what's wrong and I'd change the oil. I owned a car a while ago that had exactly these symptoms and there was a problem with the electronic throttle body. It did light the CEL though.

 

Having gas in your oil is very bad for your engine. Since you are under warranty you need to take it to the dealer asap.

 

Ok thanks y'all, will take it in and update after I find out what's going on.
