Default Fuel in oil..... what now?

I trailered my P700 with the fuel on and got a little fuel in the oil. Not enough to raise the level but enough to make it stink. I run synthetic and changed it immediately. Now about 2 hours later it stinks again! I have always turned off the gas and ran the carbs dry but it still stinks. How many times do I have to change the oil and filter before all is good? If I need to do a bunch of changes I will use regular oil
until I am sure it is clear of gas.
Will synthetic smell any different than normal oil with a few hours on it?

Do a search, this topic has been beat to death. You may never completely get rid of the smell.

No I pulled my trailer with my quad on it and the bouncing caused the problems.

I would'nt worry about a small amount of gas in the oil. That small of a dilution ratio should not hurt anything. deisel engines get a lot of fuel in the oil due the high compression.
