There is a temperature sensor in the DPF to stop injected fuel being sent into the exhaust if it is not at a sufficient temperature. My oil level is 100% stable. Extremely clean as well.

I'm guessing that there is a combination of significant blow-by and over fuelling during the power stroke.

Not in a modern Volvo engines. They use special piston rings and very sophisticated sensors and injection software.

I guess it's also possible that with high exhaust back pressure and worn exhaust valve guides you could get excessive leakage into the cam covers, potentially carrying some diesel meant for the dpf with it. The diesel could then be captured in the all the oil sloshing around the cams and make its way back down to the sump via the crank bearing oil supply.
Does Volvo rely on intake vacuum for crankcase ventilation like most cars traditionally do? |

Diesels have little or no intake vacuum to draw gases into the CDR Valve engine 2007 emission standards do not permit crankcase blow-by to be vented to the atmosphere. OBD-II engines require monitoring of crankcase pressure to detect problems associated with the closed crankcase ventilation system.

I've had it in my 2015 model V60 D5, only 18k miles. The problem I have is that I kept unknowingly interrupting the DPF regens, the car would much rather regen more often and dilute the oil than risk raising a message on your dash about a full filter. It's very difficult to tell when it's regenerating unless you know what to look for, it's almost like Volvo don't want you to know it's fitted with a DPF. The gents in maintenance I've spoken to seem confident that the 0w-30 oil can handle the contamination and worst comes to worst I'd rather change the oil twice a year than replace the DPF biannually.
I've done a write up about the behavior of the DPF which might help a lot of people avoid these issues in future http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=263914 |

I have noticed my oil levels creep up.
1st Time had it fully serviced. within 2 days warning came up. took to garage and they siphoned it off a little. Since then all ok until 2weeks ago where it said Engine System something and when i checked the oil level electronically it said too much. Not sure why this occurs. Will have to drain some more off myself rather then another trip to the garage! |
