The fuel gets into the oil at the combustion chamber. It has nothing to do with your turbos.

This is one major reason why you don't want to push oil change intervals on this car - fuel dilution and it's effects on oil properties.

It gives oil changes and major engine work a nice "bouqet". Get used to it.

 

I dont think I've ever drained oil that didnt smell more like gas out of my 7s at any point in time whatsoever...thats including 100 miles first oil change for rebuilds!!!!

 

The higher the boost the faster the dilution!

 

I just changed my oil this past weekend and wondered the same thing. I will just consider it normal.
