2020 Yukon SLT with 80k miles. Oil has a pretty bad gas smell to it. Haven’t noticed any performance issues and the check engine light isn’t on. Changed the oil and it still smells. Anyone have this issue before?

just keep an eye on the oil level if it rises then you know gas is somehow leaching in. if the level does not rise then :shrug:

Bad fuel injector. Needs to be diagnosed. Washing down the cylinder walls and into the oil. I would not be driving till diagnosed and fixed. Good thing you caught this as it can get much more expensive. Another reason to change your own oil.

Get the direct injection high-pressure fuel pump diagnose. When it goes bad it leaks fuel into the crankcase. Start the video on minute 11.
