Description of the problem | After approximately each 500 miles the oil level rises to, and then above, the safe maximum fill marker on the dipstick. The oil smells strongly of fuel. Driving includes short commutes in residential areas (ca 20 miles) and longer road trips (ca 400 miles) the rising oil level appears to be the result of fuel leaking into the system/crank case. Over 4,600 miles (of 9,000 total) the truck has had multiple oil changes due to this issue, but without resolution; fuel smell and rising oil level continue. Services, including oil changes each time follow: 23 june 2020 (4,396 miles) 28 july 2020 (4,806 miles) 8 september 2020 (5,436 miles) 26 october 2020 (7,238 miles; high oil level and fuel vapor valve failure, w/ error code for latter) 28 december 2020 (9,052 miles) the ford dealership has acknowledged that the problem is persistent and they have not been able to fix the matter because the vehicle is not showing an electronic error code and ford has not issued a technical service bulletin. |
