My car was a 10-month old ex-Volvo management car when I bought it, so perhaps the problem originates in the 10k miles it did then. Regardless, the dealer would not investigate the root cause, and Volvo wouldn't acknowledge the issue or help with any costs incurred in searching more deeply...

I honestly believe the problem of rising sump oil level cannot be a side effect of particulate filter regeneration alone, nor simply the owners driving habits in relation to aborting regen cycles by switching the engine off before these cycles have completed. I realise this issue is not uncommon, however most examples of each model do not suffer this problem so, logically, it must be an issue related to specific examples of the model. My Volvo certainly does not suffer this problem, at least in the 42 months/30k miles I've owned it.
Very convenient for the dealer to blame the owner's driving habits though...
