i hope so.Doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about silverflash. There were a few extreme cases in here where it would go well above the top hole in the dip stick within 2K miles. Fuel dilution in an oil analysis was coming back at 8%-10% with 2-3K of use. Direct injection motors seem to get a higher rate of fuel dilution so the standard of less than 2 or 3 percent might be a little low. With a Direct injected turbo motor just change it every 5K.
I had a similar experience when my truck was new with high oil level but my oil analysis came back at under 2% with just under 5K on the oil an 18K on the motor. My personal opinion is some are changing to pure synthetic too early. I waited until I had 3,500 on the motor to allow the rings an moving parts to seat. I hadn't had a high oil level since.
the dealer told me at that last oil change to drive it hard. I have been using sport mode in mountains and i love it. of course i do that only when she's warmed up good.
the oil looks dirty and it is thin. but if they don't care right now i won't. i am just trying to be proactive and maybe just maybe it will stop right below the top dot. if it does and i get thru the next 3000 miles or so without a rise, then i plan on going back to synthetic. by then, at 9000 miles it should be broken in. hopefully not just broken.
