Vl commodore
So yesterday I serviced my Vl commodore for the first time (bought it four weeks ago) and I had an 8 litre bucket for the oil. The oil that I drained out ended up filling the 8 litre bucket with an extra 1-2 litres in another container, so about 10 litres in total.

I dont know why so much oil was there as it had not been over filled or topped up and was showing the oil level was just above halfway on the dipstick.

The oil was also very thin.

What could this be?
How did it happen?

The only thing i can think of is that fuel has mixed with the oil because of leaky injectors.
