2015 6.7, oil reading an inch over full on dip stick
#17
"I don't understand why people don't check their fluids anymore."
I plead guilty! I no longer check the fluids nor tire pressures, why? Because I am lazy AND trusting that todays vehicles are significantly better than ever.
Yes I may one day regret it but after many years of not needing to add any oil I've quite checking it completely. And TPMS watches over my tires.
So shoot me if you must.
PS, I do check it AFTER an oil change.

Those dipsticks are a pain to get an accurate reading. I pull mine and let it sit overnight and then check it once. After dragging oil up the tube a second reading may be wrong.
If you think that the engine is "making oil", send a sample to Blackstone Labs so that you know what is really going on.

Your service tech must be stuck in the 6.4 days. These 6.7's don't dilute the oil near as bad as the 6.4's did. When I drain my oil I get ~13 quarts out.
Also coolant level check's should be done when the fluid is at ambient temperature.

Keep us updated Tom! I'm very curious to see how this works out, but the good news is the new Ecoboost 3.5 has PFI along with GDI, so we won't have oil dilution problems in the future.
I had 7 percent fuel in oil in my last 6.7 and I can tell you that the Vegas dealers didn't want to try and help me figure out where it was coming from on a truck with less than 10k miles on it....
Let's hope you just overfilled it or maybe didn't get all of the old oil out of the engine.
