Actually they do know what they are talking about. This did happen to one of our cars. While doing an engine check I noticed that the oil level was over the full mark. My first reaction was to blame the dealership where the oil was last changed. We brought it in to get some oil taken out. They checked it out and found gas in the oil. They asked if we had been idling it a lot at startup, which turned out to be the case. My daughter had been letting the car idle 5 - 15 minutes to get the ice off the windows rather than scraping them.
No, that's a leaky injector, not an idling problem.
You could park your car right now idling with a full tank of gas, come back when it's empty and you won't have "made" any discernible amount of oil......if it's running properly.
If what you said were true in general, there would be a million cars by March with washed out cylinders hydrolocked in their driveways north of the mason dixon line.
