The high oil level came on while driving my 2020 Mazda CX-8 diesel
Mazda (and other car-makers) have been having lots of problems with the oil level rising in the engines of some of their diesel models. The problem is caused by the Diesel Particulate Filter attempting to regenerate itself. In an ideal world, these diesel vehicles would be driven for at least an bour or so at freeway speeds at least once a month. That would get the exhaust system hot enough for the DPF to regenerate on its own (burn the contaminants from the exhaust to ash and expel them, basically).
But in cars that don’t see this sort of use and are more commonly driven around the suburbs at moderate speeds, the exhaust never gets hot enough for this to occur. So, the solution has been to inject extra diesel into the engine to make the exhaust hotter and, therefore, get it all to a temperature where DPF regeneration can occur. The problem is that some of that diesel can get into the sump of the engine where it dilutes the engine oil. And that’s why you’re seeing the level rising on the dipstick over a period of weeks and months.
Diluted engine oil is bad news because it may not lubricate and protect the engine as well as non-polluted oil. The warning light you’re seeing is telling you that you might be at that point and that an engine oil change is probably a good idea, even if the service interval hasn’t been reached yet. Just draining some of the contents of the sump away is not the answer as the oil is already diluted by the diesel.
