Hi folks

Apologies if this is the wrong section. I have a volvo C30 with a D5 engine (and the dreaded DPF). I've noticed over the last 2000 or so miles that my oil level has started to rise slowly.

It's currenly about 1cm over the max mark and slowly creeping up (I've been checking it cold on a flat level at lunch time). The oil itself looks normal, but is just rising (I've not added any to the car since I bought it).

My car's done just over 7000 miles. I'm booked in on Wednesday next week to get it looked at and was advised it's not normal.

Anyone had or heard of this before?

The car sounds normal enough and drives well, but the consumption has never been great. Fuel consumption is consistently 37-35mpg

Thanks

Stiggles
