Brand new Longblock (¾ actually with injectors, rail) new turbo, egr valve, delta-P and crossover. Had heavy blowby in the first 500 miles. Replaced the intake manifold pressure sensor. It consistently throws 3 codes:
SPN 3936 FMI 18
SPN 3464 FMI 16
SPN 102 FMI 16 (rarely)
There's 5,000 miles on the engine now and I changed the initial break in oil Rotella T4 15W40 at 2,000 miles with fresh T4.
I think blow-by gasses having clogged up my One-Box are the reason it's throwing these codes. I'd like initiate a parked regen but I'm reluctant to subject it to 45 minutes of high idle, reaching temperatures as high as 1200°. Am i being overly cautious? The opinions on a break-in period vary from 2,500 miles to 20,000. I called Detroit and they had trouble giving me a straight answer on the first oil change. They seemed to persistently relegate back to a time frame between standard oil changes.
How many miles to parked regen a brand new factory DD15 GHG14?
Break-in new DD15 until safe to Parked Regen
