1] Operator error Not likely from the reports made here. but maybe hard acceleration on a cold engine causing a rich condition before complete cylinder seal. No. 2] Modifications to the engine in terms of performance. Such as PCV or intake modifications or performance programs etc. No...

What would be a long trip? My daily commute is 50 miles round trip and I believe my fuel dilution is worse than most. I am about halfway to the 5000 miles that the Ford wants me to drive on this oil change and the level has been hovering around the top of the twist for a couple weeks now, Last...

I just posted over there, Feb 13, 2019 build date for my engine.

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...

Yes, I have also found out that Ford Customer Service has closed my case, even though I still have an ongoing service ticket with the dealership. I never received any paperwork from the last time my truck was at the dealer for 2 weeks. I was told I would not get any paperwork while it was still...

Exactly, I have pointed that out on numerous occasions. From the Field Service Engineer, indirectly, filtered thru the dealer, "after seeing more of this issue with other Ford Ranger owners, the fuel dilution and high oil levels may turn out just to be a characteristic of the Rangers 2.3L...

Add me to the list.

Being in the same boat, I can surely relate to how frustrating and hopeless this situation actually is. I have been a lifelong Ford guy, 50+ years, but how they are dealing with this issue is testing my loyalty. How Ford can tell us to ignore the oil level and that it is OK, probably goes...

I tried numerous times, whether it was the dealership, Ford Customer Service, or the Ford Field Service Engineer, after being told it was safe to drive my vehicle and ignore the rising oil level, they absolutely would not put that in writing, or on the service ticket, or even in an email. Both...

No, engine still seems to be running fine, although there is a new humming sound, at startup, that comes and goes? I am still running around with the oil level at the top of twist and moving up slowly. I have another 2900 miles I have to drive before they will take another oil sample and...

Below is one of the tests the dealership sent out. 13% fuel at 2111 miles on oil. They did another one, that they did not give me a copy of because they couldn't find it when I asked for it, but that one was 12% fuel at 500 miles on oil. I am actually driving my truck with the oil level much...

It sounds like they are giving you the run around. Initially I was told the same thing about short trips, and I told them I never take short trips, I live 12 miles from the nearest town, 20+ miles from the dealership, and 25 miles from where I work. Heck, I have never used the auto start stop...

Not much happening, as they won't do anything further until I get to 5000 miles on this oil change, as they want a comparative test sample at that mileage, as if 12% at 500 miles wasn't enough? I have either 4400 miles or 3300 miles left to go, because the service writer is insisting they...

I believe the thought is that the fuel is leaking down into the head from the HPFP? It doesn't matter in my case, as they already replaced the HPFP once and the injectors twice. I think what he is implying, is that since they have replaced the HPFP and the injectors, they have no idea what is...

I don't know what to make of this, I asked the dealer to give me some documentation stating that I should be driving my truck for at least 5000 miles before bringing it back in to finish the service. The dealer copied the email from the Field Service Engineer, less the contact information. It...

I can so relate with this, I hope your regional Ford Service Engineer is more competent than mine and they can actually identify the issue and get you fixed up.

This, it made a huge difference on my truck also.

I wouldn't be worried at all about 1.5% at 600 miles, I was at 12% at 500 miles. Just keep an eye on the level. Mine would rise very quickly to the max level, about a 1/10in every 50 miles, then it would slow down until it was near the twist, and then it would start rising quickly again. I can...

I wouldn't worry about the smell, and just keep an eye on the level. If it is not rising past the max level mark and beyond, I would not be concerned. After a lot of researching, it seems a little fuel dilution is the nature of the beast for these DI, turbo'd engines and nothing to worry about...

If there is a TSB, I think that could be very helpful for me. Can you ask your dealer what the TSB # is? I just got off the phone with the service manager at the dealership that has been working on my truck. I am not allowed to contact the Field Service Engineer, so I asked him if he could...
