Don’t worry, it’ll be sorted with the T7(?) when Ford do the engines :p

...do regeneration at standstill is getting oil diluted with fuel." I imagine that for the majority the steps that can be taken to avoid oil dilution and possible repercussions of that, are of great value. Thanks again, you have added a lot of useful references within this post which I feel...

This is great, I’m going to show vw this as they said mine was around 500ml over it should be

...deletes earlier may have helped. The oil analysis was a clear indication that there were severe issues with the engine; More than 10% fuel dilution, Millers caution is 2%, failure at 4%, oil viscosity was too low as a result. 66 ppm Al, Millers failure is at 30 ppm, almost certainly piston...

I had a JLR product that I had to service every 6 months because of oil dilution, so not just VW’s. We gave up in the end, and embraced 1 x dealer service and 1 x non dealer oil change a year. Really hope I don’t run into this with the 6.1 as well!

Tbh half the issue on my van is reaching the upper middle of the windscreen :rofl: even at 6ft 3in I struggle, and that's nothing to hold on to when stepping on the wheel! I'll also be taking a spray bottle of ONR diluted as a quick detailer, it's excellent as a window cleaner too so that...

Thanks, I appreciate that there is no time to waste now, I will change it tomorrow. I was more interested what is the long term impact of soot being high until now Also, fuel dilution was just under 1.5% which is considered good enough level.

Wasn’t the 2.7v6 diesel with crankshaft issues? Euro6 tdv6 and 2.0 diesel euro 6 all suffer from oil dilution in the sump and consequent dpf issue Problem never solved by jaguar/Landrover. I have sold my Jag 20d after 16k miles. Light on the dash every 2k miles, oil and filter change. They have...

You need to check the oil level yourself when you get this warning. If the level has risen, then your oil is being diluted with diesel, which is not good for the engine. If the oil level has not risen, then it’s more likely to be a software issue. Pete

Probably too late now, but a good windscreen coating with prevent frost. Rain-X, original, not the diluted stuff. Alternatively, Autoglym fast glass but requires weekly maintenance. Can also be diluted and used to defrost the screen

https://www.t6forum.com/threads/t6-1-oil-level-warning-reduce-oil-level.20261/post-583415 Have a Search on ‘fuel dilution’ and ‘oil analysis’. It is possible that there is one or more leaking injectors - in which case the issue needs repairing. Far more likely is the common problem of fuel...

Nice editing. You post a comment, I reply, you change the comment! Why do you feel the need to do that? At least you didn't remove it altogether this time!

...is not feeding enough fuel to the High Pressure Pump (which can cause damage and is expensive to replace) or a leaking injector(s) which could at best cause dilution of engine oil, at worst put enough fuel into one cylinder to cause a hydraulic lock and bend a rod (also very expensive to rectify)

I suspected that, bothered me that the garage told me to carry on driving it.

I do regular oil analysis, so no fuel dilution.

Thank you !

...DPF, replace it, it’s cheaper than a turbocharger ass’y. Don’t run the van with a defective fuel system, ie failing injector causing fuel dilution of the engine oil. Don’t use the Stop / Start, this stops the engine while the turbo chargers are still spinning, killing oil pressure instantly...

Just had the latest analysis report back, very low contamination and viscosity very good, no recorded fuel dilution. 18 ppm Fe, 11ppm Al and 0.2% soot after 4772 miles on the oil. I wouldn’t mess about with mapping and Darksides DPF removal. The Tafmet solution is less than an hours work and...

Muchas gracias ;)

It might be reasonably benign right now if it's the classic short runs causing partial regens but that process dilutes the oil (hence why the engine thinks there is too much in) and does long term damage. At the very least I'd be insisting on a full oil service to replace any contaminated oil...
