VW T6

[Dhillon]

Hello All,
I’ve had this message come up, I enquired from a google search with message below.

The "Reduce oil level - workshop" message on a VW T6, particularly diesel models, means the engine oil level is too high and has likely been diluted by diesel fuel during incomplete DPF regeneration cycles. It indicates the oil sump is overfilled, necessitating a workshop visit to drain excess fluid and prevent potential engine damage.

Any assistance is appreciated

Its a potentially complex issue.

First course of action is to reduce the oil level to no higher than halfway between the dipstick marks and then monitor for a few months.

If the level does not change you have an overly fussy oil level sensor. It this is the case, which is most likely, there is a software patch but it doesnt always work so keeping the lefel no higher than 1/2 is prudent.

If it does rise, less likely but does happen, if may be an oil dilution issue.

Either way, you need to resrt the lefle and monitor for a spell.
