Fuel in Oil
I have n 06 chevy 1500 with a 6.0. I noticed my fuel mileage has went down a bit in the last 2 tanks, well I check my oil every so many miles and last time I checked it was 1500 miles ago and it was full. Today I checked it and it was 2 quarts or better over full. So I drained and checked it and sure enough it had over 8 quarts of oil came out it. I put a fuel pressure guage on it and it ran at about 55 to 57#'s and turned it off and it held pressure. It only lost a few lbs after about 10 minutes of it sitting. So I pulled the fuel rails to check injectors again, turned key on and off and injectors are dry no leakage at all. I figure all it can be is pressure regulator but how do u check to make sure?

Look some where else. it sounds as if your fuel system is working ok. A few pounds drop is fine after shut down. Does the engine get as hot as it should? a stuck thermostat will cause the same issues. What do you have for mods and tuning???

I put a breather on my oil cap but it has been like that. I just checked it today and it has gained almost a half quart of oil in 100 miles of driving. Oil smells like fuel bad.
