To find out, I plan on doing a Blackstone oil analysis at my next oil change to find out what's going on. If I find a lot of fuel in the oil, I'll either go back to the stock OCS configuration, or maybe experiment with a higher temp thermostat to help vaporize more fuel and water.
But if the level is under 5% (which other RX3 owners using the stock OCS are seeing), I'll continue bypassing it.

Hi Detours,
I'm doing the same thing.
I'm running the engine for another 1,000 miles, then taking a sample for another analysis.
Joe B., Pete, and Peter Y don't think 4 to 5% of fuel in the oil is significant.
I would tend to agree with them if my oil analysis results were consistent.
But the amount of fuel in the oil has been increasing with each analysis.
So far, after 350 miles, the hose is clear and the tube under the airbox is empty.
