    have you been driving your rig for a while?
    What engine do you have?
    How many miles have you run out of it?
    what engine oil do you put in it ?
    do you add any additive? Lucas, Motorkyte, The secret stuff ?

    I don't know what I started with (dealer serviced it) but didn't use any in 8000 miles. Thought I had to put mobile synthetic in it and had to add 1.5 gallons in 14k miles on a cummins isx with 722k miles. Will be going to moble delvac conventional next change.

    C-15 6nz CAT. 1.1 million miles. Bought new. Mobile Delvac. Change oil at 20k . Never use additives. Uses about 1 or 2 gallons between changes. Runs better than when it was new. Cylinder head and 2 cylinder packs replaced under warranty at 448k miles. Otherwise engine has required almost no repairs. I replaced the oxygen sensor about 3 years ago.
