In a Suburban, what happens if I get gas in the oil?

Answer by  Amber40 (24961)

Gas in the oil can ruin your engine. It is a good idea to change your oil as soon as you can.

How much gas? If it is a little then there are relatively few things that can go wrong. A lot of gas in there, change oil and flush the system.

if you get gas in the oil, this could cause the oil to be thinned out and damage the engine.

A little gas probably won't hurt the engine to much, but if it is a large amount of gas it could damage the pistons when they combust while the engine runs. If a large amount of gas was put into the oil, you may want to drain your oil pan and flush before doing an oil change.
