I presume the Volvo meccanic also cleaned out all the flame trap hoses and intake manifold fittings connected to the breather box. If this is so, then you might have some kind of blowby. Have you tried an engine oil cleaner designed to free up sticking oil control or compression rings? AutoRx comes to mind.

And do you have the correct dipstick? What is the distance between the round, flat tube stop at the top and the "full" mark? Mine is 21-7/8 inches for a B230F/T
