KiNK43 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well so far so good. I changed the oil and filter this morning. And cleared ecu with torque pro. Problem solved I hope. Ran great all day!It's weird the oil level raises over time. Apparently due to the dpf cleaning cycle. Diesel gets in the engine oil. The dipstick has three marks.. min, max and X.X means the oil needs changing. Bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 YupSo the theory is then that so much diesel gets into the oil and contaminates it, you need to change the oil ....That's just odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yep that's what I thought odd. But it's the way it's designed. The idea is that the diesel in the oil will be vaporised if it were to get hot enough but unlikely to do so.Although apparently giving it some beans and getting the exhaust nice and hot burns the soot off dpf naturally and will stop it pouring diesel in trying to clean it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
