It sounds like your F-150’s V8 is having a real tough time. If you're finding gas in the oil pan, it could be a sign of a serious fuel system issue, like stuck fuel injectors or a faulty fuel pressure regulator, causing fuel to flood the cylinders. This would explain the gas-oil mix and the gray smoke, a classic sign of fuel burning off improperly. With that much gas in the oil, it’s likely the rings, bearings, or other internals took a beating. You’ll want to dig into the fuel system before trying to run it again, and maybe get that compression checked, too.
