Anyone have this issue ? Not a lot, cap was on tight. This seemed to occur quite a while after my oil change (800 + miles). Wasn't over filled. Dealer will be checking it. (2016)

I had a similar problem and I thought that the dipstick was screwed on tight - it wasn't.
Possible bad O ring? If it's an F3, there have been a few.
It was tight, has happened more than once. Also had someone else check it after me to be safe.Quote:

Happens under hard acceleration. Suck out about 6 ounces and see what happens.

It's a pain but I'm going by their exact procedure to check oil level. Have not added any oil, dealer did the last service.
There is no guarantee all the technicians at a dealership are up to date on the engine oil capacity of the 1330 engine. I know for a fact -- 1/2 qt overfilled at my 28K service.Quote:

But, again, go through the proper oil level check to verify what you have. The good thing is that, once the level is correct, the 1330 engine is known to not loose any oil between changes. Let us know how you make out......
According to paper work, replaced dipstick tube. Warranty, no charge.
