Ask the ford Dealer why the oil line is above the fill line at every oil change.
The truck uses fuel to help burn off the soot in the DPF. If you shut the truck down before this is finished, it will dump the unburned fuel into the crank case. Every time my dad gets his oil changed at the dealer (every 5000mi) his oil is about 2.5 inches above the fill mark. Truck went into limp mode on day. Had it towed to find out there was too much "fluid" in the crank case and it shut the truck down. 2010 F250 Powerstroke.
Do yourself a favor and do some more homework before making a purchase of this size.
