Default yep got the letter last week

Heading to vovo dealer this week for recall work for oil problem
noticed about 3 weeks ago that oil was above the max level on dip stick
thought that garage had mabe overfilled it checked it the same day i got the letter in and it is now about level with the top of the dip stick 25mm above the top mark

Now the only thing it can be is diesel in the oil. Fuel consumption has droped from 33.6mpg to 30 mpg ( i thought the wife had been raceing with it )

Now to me just draining out a few litres of oil aint going to be enough they will have to drain the system & refill with new oil as the viscosity of the oil will be more like hydralic oil
Has anyone had the oil completly drained & refilled with new oil ? only done 5000 miles since last service
this is the xc 60 2.4 D 205 is other engines affected as well ?
