Nah, doesn't run hotter than normal. I still need to drain a bit of the oil to see if it smells of gasoline.

I had a fuel pressure regulator go bad and it filled the oil with gasoline, and no doubt the engine/cylinders some too. I replaced the regulator and I changed the oil and ran it around the block a couple miles. Oil was clean when I left the shop, and when I got back it was dirty and I'm not sure if it was "milky" or just thinner and dirty because of gasoline in the oil again.

Is it possible more gasoline was working its way into the oil from what was left in the block after I changed the fuel pressure regulator?
