I do not believe it is a simple fuel in oil issue for everyone involved, it is an excessive fuel in oil issue for some. That said, I have not seen anyone reporting this issue having it worse than my truck. Multiple oil samples, taken by the dealer and even by Ford directly, and every one of them was double digit fuel % contamination. Samples were all from 500 to 2100 miles on the oil sampled. There was a sample with 5,000 miles on the oil, as requested directly from ford, and they sent some tech from, who knows where, to my dealer to collect that sample. That is the only sample that Ford has refused to share with me. Anyway, after replacing the HPFP, injectors twice, all high pressure fuel lines and the factory oil separator system, there was no change in the issue. My truck still runs fine, although I have had some "stalling" issues that they claim are unrelated, but cannot pinpoint what has caused it either. Ford has told my dealership they do not believe the high oil level is harming the engine and will not authorize any more work related to the fuel in oil issue. I asked them if I needed to still check the oil level and they said that I still needed to do that. I then asked what level should I be concerned, and bring it in to the dealership? They told me they would look into it and get back with me the following week, which they never did. I contacted Ford Customer service and they advised that I should file a complaint with the BBB. Ford sure ain't what it used to be?
I check the level weekly now, instead of daily, it seems to level out when it gets to about a 1/2in above the twist, which when the oil is drained, comes out to about 7.8qts, so about 1.6qts of fuel? I am at 32,000 miles and change. I guess I will find out how long this engine will last.
Overall, my truck has been to the dealer 17 times for this issue, without resolve. I hope the OP has better luck than me.
