    Seems reasonable as most I have looked at are under 450 except for the older ones . My loads would be 80K to 85K and not so much mountains since mainly in the Ok to Ne area . Just some hills

    #### and I thought a gallon every couple of days was bad. It's embarrassing, people know where you've been, where you're going, and you can't hide, all they gotta do is follow the drip.

    Adding oil was just part of driving those older trucks. Took an old milk truck, tri-axle IH 4300, 318, ( not THAT 318 mark, HA) a distance of 150 miles (75 each way) boss said make sure to check the oil and take some with you. Naturally, there was nothing on the stick, put 3 gallons in and took 2 with. When I got to the turn around, (75 miles, mind you) nothing on the stick, again, put the 2 gallons in, was still a gallon low. I kept an eye on the oil pressure, in case I had to stop and get some more.
