    If it's using that much coolant, it's going somewhere it shouldn't be. For instance, a cracked block or blown head gasket. Have you checked your oil recently?

    I bet it's the EGR cooler. And the bad part is that will most likely have damaged your DPF. I drove a 2011 Volvo with an ISX that suffered the same fate. Leaky EGR cooler and busted up DPF.
