Looks like fuel dilution is not a problem...im starting to wonder if it ever was on ecoboost....maybe someone had a bad engine and that had an oil analysis and that was considered the norm

Your fuel dilution was 75% less than what is normal
he does have the monster rx catch can though if i'm not mistaken. would be interesting to see dilution levels on OCC vs non-OCC cars as well.

If you're talking about me, yes, I have a Monster RX. I dont remember how soon after my injector issue I drained my OCC, but I got about 13oz of liquid. The water on the bottom only made up about 4 oz, and the rest was a milky, stinky (like fuel) mixture. Subsequent drains have had much less fuel smell, and appears to be mostly water (with some oil/fuel on top).

Given the choice, I'd spend the $450 or so and install it again. :)
