I'm not disputing the fact that there is Zero fuel in the oil, just find it odd that there wouldn't be a trace of some fuel in the sump due to the fact that some might wash down the bores in the combustion process adding lube and cooling ? or is that not how engines work any more ?
The tolerances must be microscopic, I failed to extract a sample of Oil as the sample bottle and other assosciated paperwork found it's way into the recycling ! Located this yesterday afternoon after turning the house upside down.....

Chalkys, did this car have the adaptive suspension?
I dont know ? I've still got it.... how can you tell ?
The callipers on the front are huge...... i'm thinking thye'd look nice in red
I don't think you can tell if it has Adaptive Dynamics as it's always on with no switch.
However my MY19 was ordered with it and it really does stick to the road and handle well in comparison to the MY18 I had as a demo. If it goes around corners that you'd have hammered on the brakes in yours to go round with very little body roll I would say it's got it! -

Doesn't mean there's zero fuel in the oil, it just means if there is fuel it's below the lab's detection threshold. All vehicles do wash fuel into their crankcases.
My second test in about a month (another 1,000 miles on) showed no appreciable increase in FIO from my last test - it remains at around 1.5%. -

Well actually I tink this might be true.
I am reading in a facebook user group where we had some oil samples tested. All come back with 0 (yes ZERO) oil dilution. The only thing is: The car's software thinks there is oil dilution, thus the early service warning. So for the D5 3.0L it seems the car only calculates wrong and therefore wants oil service while the oil itself is good.
Different thing with the Disco Sport though: Calculation there is correct and dilution is there. How much depends heavily on the driving style.
Greets,

It says here 0 yes ZERO ?
That's why i thought it was odd as the very nature of the engine internals means that it would impossible to get ZERO fuel in Oil.
i dont know about you but i took that as read ?

Read my other thread on on Driving Style Theory........ Good Luck....
You should be able to pick the bones out of it,
Im not 100% but i'm pretty sure the 2019 MY is BiTurbo again, i think the 2018MY was the same as the 2017MY engine wise.
I coud be wrong of course, depending on which country you are reading this in ?
