    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.

    Mate my 3.0 has 47600km's and it has never had any oil added to it! Oh by the way I have been told by two dealers that when you fill them up only go to the 2nd last line so you don't overfill because it can bugger the turbo.

    Oh.....

    So you're collecting stats that suggest that I pressume....but what's the engineering behind it do you think? So many folks pooh pooh the DPF.

    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.

    Interesting point Rollin over. I had a lot of black on the back doors until recently. Seems much cleaner now the oil is lower.
    Faulty guage or wrong calibration?

    Bloody words....

    Sorry mate, didn't mean that to sound like some sort of accusation....

    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.....

    Cheers,

    Kev.
