A method for operating an internal combustion engine in which at least one secondary fuel injection is carried out, and a device for implementing the method. The level of the motor oil of the internal combustion engine is ascertained, which is compared to a first threshold value for the maximum possible oil level. If a threshold is exceeded, a warning signal is provided. Preferably an oil-dilution signal, which is a measure for the quantity and/or the volume of the oil dilution input into the motor oil of the internal combustion engine by the at least one secondary fuel injection, is taken into account when ascertaining the oil level.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for operating an internal combustion engine, comprising: carrying out at least one secondary fuel injection; ascertaining at least one measure for an oil level of a motor oil of the internal combustion engine; predefining a first threshold value for a maximum possible oil level; providing a first warning signal if the first threshold value is exceeded; and comparing an oil signal provided by an oil sensor to a second threshold value which corresponds to a predefined upper oil level, wherein, if the second threshold value is exceeded, the predefined oil level is a starting point in a further ascertainment of the oil level. 2. A device for operating an internal combustion engine, the device including a control unit for performing the following: carrying out at least one secondary fuel injection; ascertaining at least one measure for an oil level of a motor oil of the internal combustion engine; predefining a first threshold value for a maximum possible oil level; providing a first warning signal if the first threshold value is exceeded; and comparing an oil signal provided by an oil sensor to a second threshold value which corresponds to a predefined upper oil level, wherein, if the second threshold value is exceeded, the predefined oil level is a starting point in a further ascertainment of the oil level. 3. A device for operating an internal combustion engine, the device including a control unit for performing the following: carrying out at least one secondary fuel injection; ascertaining at least one measure for an oil level of a motor oil of the internal combustion engine; predefining a first threshold value for a maximum possible oil level; providing a first warning signal if the first threshold value is exceeded; and ascertaining an oil-dilution signal which is a measure for at least one of a mass and a volume of an oil dilution input into the motor oil of the internal combustion engine by the at least one secondary fuel injection, the oil-dilution signal being taken into account when ascertaining the oil level. 4. The device according to claim 3, wherein, upon reaching one of a predefined operating time and a predefined travel of the internal combustion engine, after an occurrence of a start signal, a predefined upper oil level is a starting point in a further ascertainment of the oil level. 5. The device according to claim 3, wherein, when ascertaining an oil dilution, a time duration, which indicates a measure for one of a time duration and a crankshaft-angle range of the at least one secondary fuel injection, is taken into account. 6. The device according to claim 3, wherein, when ascertaining an oil dilution, a measure for a fuel quantity supplied to the internal combustion engine with the at least one secondary fuel injection is taken into account. 7. The device according to claim 3, wherein an oil-discharge ascertainment provides an oil-dilution-rate signal that indicates a measure for a decrease of an oil dilution. 8. The device according to claim 3, wherein the control unit ascertains, from the oil level and the oil-dilution signal, a quality signal as a measure for an oil quality. 9. The device according to claim 3, wherein, when ascertaining an oil dilution, a crankshaft angle is taken into account that indicates a start of injection of the at least one secondary fuel injection relative to one of a crankshaft angle and a time. 10. The device according to claim 9, wherein, when ascertaining an oil dilution, a time duration, which indicates a measure for one of a time duration and a crankshaft-angle range of the at least one secondary fuel injection, is taken into account. 11. A method for operating an internal combustion engine, comprising; carrying out at least one secondary fuel injection; ascertaining at least one measure for an oil level of a motor oil of the internal combustion engine; predefining a first threshold value for a maximum possible oil level; providing a first warning signal if the first threshold value is exceeded; and ascertaining an oil-dilution signal which is a measure for at least one of a mass and a volume of an oil dilution input into the motor oil of the internal combustion engine by the at least one secondary fuel injection, the oil-dilution signal being taken into account when ascertaining the oil level. 12. The method according to claim 11, wherein, upon reaching one of a predefined operating time and a predefined travel of the internal combustion engine, after an occurrence of a start signal, a predefined upper oil level is a starting point in a further ascertainment of the oil level. 13. The method according to claim 11, wherein when ascertaining an oil dilution, a time duration, which indicates a measure for one of a time duration and a crankshaft-angle range of the at least one secondary fuel injection, is taken into account. 14. The method according to claim 11, wherein when ascertaining an oil dilution, a measure for a fuel quantity supplied to the internal combustion engine with the at least one secondary fuel injection is taken into account. 15. The method according to claim 11, wherein an oil-discharge ascertainment provides an oil-dilution-rate signal that indicates a measure for a decrease of an oil dilution. 16. The method according to claim 11, further comprising ascertaining, from the oil level and the oil-dilution signal, a quality signal as a measure for an oil quality. 17. The method according to claim 11, wherein when ascertaining an oil dilution, a crankshaft angle is taken into account that indicates a start of injection of the at least one secondary fuel injection relative to one of a crankshaft angle and a time. 18. The method according to claim 17, wherein, when ascertaining the oil dilution, a measure for a fuel quantity supplied to the internal combustion engine with the at least one secondary fuel injection is taken into account. 19. The method according to claim 17, wherein, when ascertaining the oil dilution, a time duration, which indicates a measure for one of a time duration and a crankshaft-angle range of the at least one secondary fuel injection, is taken into account. 20. The method according to claim 19, wherein, when ascertaining the oil dilution, a measure for a fuel quantity supplied to the internal combustion engine with the at least one secondary fuel injection is taken into account.
