Fuel in oil engine build date

[Sparky2]

DMC, did you wipe your dipstick then reinsert to check the oil level? Almost looks like it wasn’t. The rusty under frame looks concerning.

My engine build date is 08/20/2019 currently with 4200 miles. Most of my trips are short around town but do have four 300 mile round trips to the lake of the Ozarks and a couple 100 ish mile trips going camping to the flint hills. I gave the auto start/stop a month or two to see if I like it then bought a device to disable it.

My engine build date is June 25 2020. When I check the oil level I do it in the morning before the first start of the day. It's been steady midway between the hash marks and the hole. My Blackstone report came back with a "trace" of fuel after a 4k mile run.

DMC. that frame looks sad for a 3,500 mile vehicle. Has that been run through salt water or do they use that much salt on the roads up there?

No the truck lives in the south . The only time if at all salt would of got it was in delivery to the dealer from the factory. The oil was checked after the truck has been sitting for 2 days and the stick was wiped and reinsert and the pic is after I pulled stick after whipping it . So it's ether gas and smells like gas or over fill at factory. I am starting to notice reply of good oil levels are later year motors of 2020 mine is early .so I wonder if ford found a fix or changed supplier

I believe I have one of the worse cases on here. I just checked, and the engine decal states Feb 13, 2019. I also checked the oil while I had the hood up, the level has been hovering at the top of the twist for the past few hundred miles or so. I am guessing 1-1/2qts of gas in the crankcase. Sucks checking the oil, it is so thin now, it is difficult to contain the dripping, and I always need to do a wipe down after checking. I have ~2200 miles on the oil and Ford wants me to get to 5000 miles before they will take another sample and decide where to go from there. Truck has been in for this issue 8 times since March, new injectors - twice, new HPFP, new Fuel line and rail, nothing has changed.

It may be worth noting, my truck had absolutely no issues for the first 10,000 miles, oil level was rock steady and barely moved.......so what happened?

I think I have you beat now 3400 miles and way past the twist

I did 20 in the Navy. I highly suspect your truck has been exposed to salt water or some sort of highly corrosive environment.

Many years ago I was looking at a Bronco II that I was thinking about buying. When the salesman proudly told me the Bronco had been used in the commercial where it was driven along a beach I decided right then there was no way I was going to buy it.

Good luck with the dealer. Keep us posted.

Good to know. So I wonder is there a such thing as an oil heater add-on that could activate early on?

I wonder if the oil cooler was removed if that would help . These engs have oil coolers .

Here is my 2020 with 3400 miles sure it has fuel in the oil yahoo ford ? Just goes with my rusty frame and cross members eng build date 02/05/2020

Looks like that crossmember has been drug through gravel and sprayed with something corrosive, like road salt... even the transmission pan bolts are rusted... WTH?

Inside of the drivers door label. Mine has a build date of 12/2018 and I have zero issues at a little over 17k miles with two oil changes under my belt.

I believe that is build date for the truck as a whole

My engine was built Oct-30-2020. 3013 miles on the odo. Dipstick right at the full mark. The oil is very thin and smells of fuel. Stock config and 91 Octane top tier only. A normal week is 4 days with just a short trip to work and back, under 3 miles each way. Once or twice a week I might take my sweetheart for a county drive and put 50-60 miles on it. Mixed driving habits. Canadian climate likely doesn't help.

Those with fuel in their crankcase what is the manufacture date of your engine.

I know this is an older Post but just to inform you that it's all still going on.
September 2021. I just drop my truck off at the dealership. Talk to the mechanic that did the only one in this dealership has gotten. He told me they change the intake? manifold if you and a few other things but doesn't know how it all turned out because Ford bought the truck back. I'm searching this forum to find out what most people with with fuel in the crankcase wound up with. Whether they were buy-backs or repaired or what. Any idea?

Maybe cold weather? I see your in Wisconsin. Engine runs richer longer until warmed up.

Honda CR-Vs with the 1.5L D.I. Turbo engine had the fuel dilution problem, primarily in the colder states. I know initially Honda made some software changes to try to get the engines to warm up faster. Have not kept up to date with their progress since I got the Ranger in July.

Oil was above the twist, covering part of the part number for the dipstick. In case you had read my thread from a little over a week ago, I had a hell of a lot of fuel in my crank case. I just drop the truck off so I'll be waiting to see. This dealership only had one of these before and they told me at wound up being a buyback.
