Are there any crankshaft or oil dilation issues with the 4.4 SDV8?

Are there any advantages or disadvantages over these to the 3.0 SDV6?

I haven't seen crank issues but oil dilution is an issue on all DPF vehicles that RR produce based on my research. As more diesel is injected for a DFP burn oil dilution will occur. Seems it is a bigger issue with V6 but that may just be that more opt for this engine. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.

MY16 SDV8, read on here about oil dilution as service light came on early... was at 15% what ever that means... Should be around 6.... they changed the oil and filter FOC and told me to go for more long motorway jaunts....

Stop start , short trip , will add to oil dilution. The theory is with Syn oil it will lesson the damage . I have spoke about this and believe the correct measure is more frequent oil changes. A V8 diesel to run around town is not going to work, I own a diesel because I drive the vehicle to diesel conditions , would not own a petrol . M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.
