My Accert would use less oil with chevron. I also switched engines once to get lower consumption. But that probably wasn't what you were asking.

I may try chevron next oil change. Thought about switching trks..lol. Don't want to get into one with the urine tank yet though.

I just spent $30k on my 99 classic because I don't want pollution crap. Put a low milage signature 600 my other one spun a Bearing $45k to rebuild. A used engine sounded better. Bunch of small stuff. Should be good for a whilestillwurkin Thanks this.

Got stoped at my drop walked inside to check in come out and see a couple drops of oil comming out of the blow by tube, not to much steam yet, but I dont like leaks. From what i have read it is fairly normal, am i correct?
-
Good deal!
-
So they use mobile delvac, that might have something to do with it. What are some recommendations for my next oil change?
-
It is normal to have some oil drip out of there. CAT did make a catch can kit that contains a filter that is installed on the blow by tube and puts oil back in the oil pan.
I don't have that kit on my truck and the underside is coated with oil spray from going down the road. I did however extend the tube with a piece of hose which helped some to keep oil from catching everywhere.Oxbow and Coloradoman Thank this. -
How many miles have you put on since your last service ? And have you use/burned any oil ? Is it low ?
-
Maybe put 2k on it. Was not low when I checked it yesterday before I hit the road.
