I'm a little baffled by this one. Why does the oil level RISE on the 6.7 between oil changes? My 6.7 is only 3800kms old but the oil level on the dipstick has risen about 1/4 inch so far. I've heard of these motors doing this but how?Why?

There is a post, just a few before this one, that offers an explanation. Apparently, frequent particulate filter regeneration cycles add fuel into the oil.
