C15 Acert Oil Consumption

My MXS was the same way. Cat didn't cut my dipstick, they took a dye grinder & made a new full mark further down on the dipstick.

 

Depends whether the dipstick was cut down or the tube.

 

my MXS is using a gallon a day taking it in through 4th of july vacation to be tore down cat says to record oil consumption they say anything over 1qt. for every 60gallons of fuel is excessive , it's blowing blue smoke out th stack , blowby is real bad but it runs good probaly rings broke on a cylinder they say

 

How many miles has it done?

Will be interesting to see what they find.

If it's a broken ring, any idea what the cause might be? Lots of cold starts, too many revs? Too hot? or just bad luck.

rings what i'd say it is cat's are notorious for it here seen several trucks around with this problem cat has updated rings for this only 215,000 miles about 11,000hrs though

 

During e winter months my 3406E uses about a gallon and a half between my 12k services. From spring thru fall in the warm weather months it hardly uses any??? always thought that was weird but my dad's is the same way.

 

My MXS is same way(old 6NZ was also)?????

 

Thanks makes sense to me, I've heard Mobil's spec is virtually the same as Cat's own brand of oil. Guess you still "get what you pay for" !

 

i have the same problem with acert c15 it consuming alot of oil so if i want to get the filter kit how can i get it so ican fix it
