[AT] My JD 2010

[Almost-Running Deere]

Maybe he has a better smeller than me! My diesel typically smells pretty bad on it's own not sure I could detect the odor of fuel in the oil. Typically dielsels dilute the crankcase oil slightly as part of the lubricity of the fuel with some volitiles burning off if worked hard.  Without an increase in oil volume (making oil as someone said)  or  a definitive crankcase oil analysis it almost sound sas if the problem is minor if at all..

Typically diesel mixes freely with oil-essentially diluting it? Did it appear as a crankcase oil volume increase or as two phases?
