Bolus000 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Hi guys, I'm having a focus st3 2.0 tdci for a year and since then I've changed oil 3 times already. I did it as I'm getting roughly around 3k message that oil change is required. Also I spotted that oil level is rising and I think its being diluted by diesel. What you think about that. I'm driving it really hard but mainly motorway, everyday around 30miles one way then come back from work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolus000 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Also found this article back from 4 years do you think it could be related? https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1186433/ford-car-recall-cars-service-dealer-oil-dilution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT70 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 No, that was for ecoblue 2.0 I would suggest you are heavily over fuelling and need to investigate. It may be constantly trying to regen the DPF, which puts extra fuel through the system. Has it been remapped? The remap could be junk and over fuelling, try reverting the car back to standard and see if it improves Get the PCM updated and see if that helps also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought also but there are no any faults in pcm 16 minutes ago, DaveT70 said: Has it been remapped?

Bolus000 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Also what i can add is that fuel consumption on computer says 47mpg but in reality it does around 35mpg so thats huge difference, also a small rattle when cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
