Like I said, there ARE some differences between the platforms.  Could be due to manufacturing, could be due to what the user community subjects their vehicles to.  IDK.  But there is currently no evidence that fuel dilution is an issue on the transverse.  I have always encouraged UOAs to establish a baseline, it is up to the individual to decide whether it's worth the effort & expense.

When do you know how bad you have oil dilution changed my oil at 4000 when I checked the level I smelled gas and the oil was dark on the dipstick.

I guess if it makes the viscosity go down as in turning a 10w to a 5w then I should see rise in my oil pressure during idle and cruse normal temps?

I don't think anything short of an oil analysis will tell you for sure.

How are you seeing oil pressure?

I'm not thought there was a way:(

So I'm reading the pasmag issue to display till 12/31/16 think it's November's issue first time I've picked up pasmag in awial.
And as I'm reading about oil guy says there's is different and spend because it has a polarity so I look up magnetic oil only thing I found was Castro magnatec.
Has anyone looked into this?http://www.castrol.com/en_au/australia/car-engine-oil/engine-oil-brands/castrol-magnatec-brand/magnatec-product-page.html

Magnatec is not a true synthetic oil, and it says so right on the label (part synthetic).  The MSDS says
3. Composition/information on ingredients
Ingredient name                             CAS #               %
Base oil - highly refined                    Varies              85 - 90
Zinc alkyl dithiophosphate                 68649-42-3      1 - 5

IDK where the remaining ingredients went, but the "cling" can be from anything.  Oil or additive packs.  I am not sure you can find engine oil on the market today that does NOT have additive packs.  Anyway, the basic test is film strength as far as the product is concerned, because we care, in the end, about the results, not too much about how they are achieved.  True synthetic BASE oils have naturally greater shear resistance and detergency than any BASE mineral oil, but you always want to protect the base oil because that is the last barrier between engine operation and engine destruction.  So you use additives to give the oil "strength".  If you look at two oils that test out equally in the lab based on physical performance (look up any of AMSOIL's tests), you don't know where that performance is really coming from.
