Mine was around 1/8” plus over and it tested at 8% fuel which equates to around 14 oz.
Just checked it again today after sitting in the garage 2 days so it's cool and drained back. Up about 3/8 inch and stinks.

Eeewwww. It would be interesting to see what that tests at. But it’s obvious there’s something going on. Make sure the dealer sees it likes this. Maybe you won’t have to do the 1000 mile “verification “ step. I’m almost certain it’s the HPFP.

Last oil change they said that's normal for these engines at Vanbortel ford. I'm trying a different dealer this time.

Elevated level that much with 2000 miles is NOT normal. Sadly you have to force the issue. When I showed my dealer my oil sample at 8% fuel with 534 miles on the oil they tried the same crap. One of the service advisors handed me this “ fuel dilution guideline” sheet. When I told them that mine was double of the severity level 4 with only 534 miles I got the deer in the headlights look. They didn’t know what to do. Long story short what got them to do something was the elevated level at low mileage on the oil. They still had to get Ford to ok the process.
