My 3.0l has 66K on the clock. I don't change the oil at the interim service and it's never used a noticeable drop....even when it was having turbo issues.
I'd be asking questions. :(

Are there any D4's with the Diesel Particulate Filter fitted(DPF)?
Yup, mine has.Quote:

Oh.....:confused:Quote:

I am not trying to pooh pooh anything. DPF are known to dilute oil I just wonder if this is the reason why no oil consumption is apparent.Quote:

Faulty guage or wrong calibration?

Was just trying to work out how/why the DPF would play a part. I know folks don't like the possibility of extra fuel usage and heat generated but diluting engine oil is one I haven't heard of.
Dilute, as in....mix fuel with the oil....what do you mean?
Diluted oil doesn't sound good at all. Interested to see what the feedback is with DPF Vs Non-DPF.
Christ, we could be up there with the LC200.....:mad:
