Thanks for the advice. To be honest the dealer has been treating me well so far, except for not offering a loaner vehicle. I will give them a chance and hopefully they can figure it out. I just hope that the life of my engine hasn't been shortened by all this.
Update: My new 2020 Ranger is now at 840 miles. During the first 365 miles the oil level rose from slightly above the dip stick hash marks to well above the top hole. After the dealer performed the warranty oil change at 365 miles I have had zero rise in oil level for the last 475 miles. It seems to have temporarily (or permanently) stopped manufacturing oil. I am feeling better but will be checking it frequently until I am confident it is stable.
I know im responding to my own post. But some might find this interesting. Got this loner while mine is in the shop and curiouity got the better of me. Yes i checked the oil. ? and it is just passed the top hole in the stick. Only 71 miles on it and a 2020 engine build was Dec 2019. So it might just be the break in period, but mine didn't get that high till over 700 mile mark. Wow!Well back from the dealer. Waiting on Ford Engineers to call back to tell them what to do. ????. But they did give me a Ranger to drive in the meantime. I’m amazed at how going from Black to Red make the truck feel smaller. Will let you know what I find out when I get more info.
Yeah it's weird and mine didn't get high until over 7,000 miles. I don't understand how their are different scenarios with this whole thing!!
I know, I'm hoping your last trip in for service fixed yours. It will give me hope. Got 7 year/ 70000 on the powertrain due to a deal i worked out when i purchased it. So hopefully it will work out with no long term issues from it. Wonder if anyone still has the issue after the 10,000 mile mark. Well just waiting to hear back to see what they do with mine. Service was pretty adamant it is a issue that needs to be fixed. He did tell me that Ford has not put anything out there about it, no notices or tsb yet. Hopfully they do the same procedure to my truck then i will make me feel like Ford knows and is working on it.
Yeah hopefully it's not a design flaw!
Yes interesting, the new vehicles that I've purchased always were gone over by the dealer. They had a check list that came from the manufacturer (a pre delivery service manual) When I bought my first new 1986 Ford regular cab F150 4 wheel drive heavy duty suspension . I also bought the 1986 F series service manual I think I paid 40 bucks for, it also came with the smaller pre delivery service manual. Makes me wonder what dealers are doing now.
Their out test driving mine now, gonna put some miles on it come back and check it if their not satisfied I'll be getting a loaner! They did change the high pressure fuel pump! Fingers crossed!!!
Just got back from the dealership. As I sat around waiting in the customer lounge for a couple hours, I was thinking they were doing multiple checks to figure out the issue. Wrong! They did not do anything. The service manager came and got me and said Ford wouldn't open a ticket because I do my own oil changes and that I would have to have the dealership do the oil change, they would mark the dipstick and check it after 2000 miles to see if the level had risen. I told him that was far too long of an interval and that the last 2 oil changes were done at 700 & 500 miles because it was overfull. I told him I would be back in a week and that is all it would take. We'll see what they do then. I did ask them what was the purpose of sending out an oil sample in the first place as that just had me driving around for 3 weeks with diluted oil, they should have done the oil change and started this BS earlier. As much as I like the truck otherwise, I am really starting to regret this purchase.
They changed mine marked the stick and told me bring it back in 500 miles. Mine had gotten so bad I was back in 60 miles already with the oil above the upper hole. They changed the High Pressure Fuel Pump today and their keeping the truck to put 85 miles on it to monitor it, hopefully it checked out ok!!
