Throw_Some_Twins_On_It

So I have found another fd locally for sale fairly cheap but it has fuel in the oil. Will start and run/drive but obviously its not good and shouldn't be driven like that. I have been told that this can be caused by the MAP sensor reading full boost and sending too much fuel into the engine. Motor in this car is stock aside from apexi intake and a cat-back. Any help would be great. Anything else that would cause this issue?

Stock FEd do this normally. I had my oil tested back in 1998-2000 and it had 10% fuel dilution. Change early and often...

Typo, FDs

is there a limit as to how much should be in there....it just seems excessive to me.

Ten percent smelled bad and the oil was visibly thin. If the map sensor is reading full boost the car will hardly run.

If the car seems to run fine and the price is right considering it may need major work buy it change the oil and drive it.

oil dilution pretty much comes with the territory on modified turbo cars. change the oil somewhat frequently.
