    I have a 07 Columbia with a 14.0 Detroit that is guzzling a gallon of oil a day.
    I have no oil in the turbo, no blow by and has plenty of power.
    Been using Delo 400, just switched to Delvac.
    If the problem persists what you think it might be.

    Air compressor? Check tanks.
    That's a huge amount of oil going missing with no blow by.
    Fuel Tanks? Water/Egr cooler
    Is there a point in the head where oil and fuel are next to each other?
    Oil pressure greater than fuel pressure so it would go that direction.

    I have no EGR and the air compressor is brand new.

    A gallon/day is pretty heavy sipping, don't you agree, Steinbrenner? The Freightliner shop in Joplin is pretty good. A gallon a day and no sign? It is to worry.

    Did you went with an in frame or just fixed the one with the problem?

    I was lucky. the dealer changed all piston rings free of charge under warranty. the truck had 375k m. if your engine has more then 750k m you may need an inframe. I think in 2005 or 2006 they changed oil rings style to newer style. google it and you will find info about it.
