2.0 engine oil smells like fuel

[NWJeepr]

welcome to the new engines running the thinnest oil possible. fuel gets into it quick. have multiple trucks that do the same thing regardless of the make and model

The 2.0 runs 5w30. That's been a normal oil weight for passenger vehicle engines going back almost 40 years?

Can you explain what you mean by "new engines" ?

most the new engines are running 0-15 through 0-20 bs ive notice that the last 6 years every oil change from brand new on 7 of my fleet vehicles all have fuel in the oil. my jeep included with the 3.6L seems very very common since they stopped running the 10-30 20-50 oils.

The weight or type of oil shouldn't have anything to do with fuel dilution. It's the fuel going past the rings. Remote starting a vehicle, lots of idling, and other factors cause it. If I'm wrong, please explain to me how.

The 3.6 never spec'd 10w30 or 20w50. Nor does it have direct injection.
