I knew it! Everyone saying the new efi hondas of pil in the oil....now ou see its normal :D.....though i would love to test my oil... Thanks for the results james:) ..... Dang phone wont let me edit so yeah *gas in oil
The fuel in the oil may be because of piston ring blow by. Check back next season when I test it again after changing piston and rings. :thumb:

how many hours are on the piston?
the fact that its starting to shear out of grade in surprise on machine with a shared engine/transmission. I would not try for 8 hours though.
I just got my kit, will be testing the engine oil

Did you ever get it tested?
 
And as soon as you pour it in, Its black as coal.

the newer electronically controlled engines take a little longer :P
our DT466E can roll for about 500 miles before its pitch black, but the old school Cummins 400's, any further than a 5 mile trip and its pitch black again
 
with the recent Baja 500
I would love to see some of the oil out of one those bikes tested to put the idea that it needs to be changed every 3 hours thrown out the door. They see tires and air filters for the entirety of the day, same thing for the 1000
