what is your daily drive like? I drive 4 miles 4 times a day to work, home for lunch, back 2 work, and then home again. I had this TSB performed and it still has a oil level rising. I chalk it up to not warming up enough to burn off blow by, water from heat cycles, and gas from DI. I just change oil every 3k and will sell it just prior to warranty running out. I have done black stone tests and came back right at 2%(should be in this thread somewhere I believe.)

I have another friend who stopped by last night who recently purchased an F150 Platinum with Ecoboost. Like many others, he had not yet checked his oil either. We checked it and, to his surprise (not mine) it was over full and gassy as well. Oil level to just above the little hole in the dipsitck above the hashmarks.

Mine was overfull at 400 miles and now has 12.5K and is still showing high. The HPFP has been replaced and all the injectors are being replaced tomorrow.

Hey y'all, it's me. The OP of this epic 68 page thread! I've been gone for the last 40 some odd pages and couple few years since I traded my ecoboost in for a 2500 Ram/Cummins combo.
I just thought about the old ecoboost, remembered my issues and this thread and wondered if Ford ever addressed/corrected the issue? Based on the fact that this thread is 68 pages long I'm guessing that it wasn't an isolated issue.
I don't really want to read through 40 pages of forum posts so, can anybody tell me if Ford ever admitted there was a problem and if they were ever able to correct it? Based on my past experiences with Ford I'd bet the answer is no...

And, 75,000 miles later he is still very happy with his decision. Flawless performance and zero issues. Great truck.

Just a guess then - short trips in the winter? It's not a PCV defect but the cold enrichment that dumps extra fuel into the engine when cold. Combine that with the nature of Direct Injection to have some more fuel in the oil than normal and you've got the recipe for rising oil levels.
Best thing to do is drive it good and hot once a week or so. That will burn off the gas and you'll not have rising oil levels. Or see if the latest calibrations reduce the amount of gas used when in the cold.
If that's not feasible, more frequent oil changes may be the best thing in the winter - say every 5000 miles or so. Or an oil analysis to show just how much fuel is actually in the oil and it's effects.

Shocker...it didn't work.
