Excessive oil useage.
Anyone know any reason (other than bad rings) why a Cat 3208 with 87k
on it would use excessive amounts of oil (4qts in 900 miles). |

Check the fill plugs on both valve covers for tightness. If there is no
leaks, skip this check. dandarst86fc35rbhuntleyil. >From: "williamcharrison" >Reply-To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com >To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com >Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Excessive oil useage. >Date: Tue, 05 Jul 2005 19:06:13 -0000 > >Anyone know any reason (other than bad rings) why a Cat 3208 with 87k >on it would use excessive amounts of oil (4qts in 900 miles). > > > > |

How about some more information first. Are you leaking oil anyplace, rear
main seal, valve covers, positive crankcase vent on the valve covers? tom 1982 FC35 Vernon Center,NY At 07:06 PM 7/5/2005 +0000, you wrote: >Anyone know any reason (other than bad rings) why a Cat 3208 with 87k >on it would use excessive amounts of oil (4qts in 900 miles). > > > > > > > >Yahoo!

Could be your over filling the oil, most diesel engine will blow
out the extra oil, your better of running a quart or two low then to over fill. When you change oil put in the 20 quarts, this includs the filler, then check the dip stick, (the dip stick could be off)it should be close to full, if the dip stick shows low, then your dip stick is off.

Excessive oil useage.
I recently changed the oil in our generator. After a short trip of about 40
miles I checked the oil and found it to be about a pint low. I apparently left the washer off of the drain plug (probably in old oil). New washer--no leaks. Put a piece of cardboard under your engine to see if you have an oil leak. Bill & Rita in Roanoke, VA 1987 FC-35 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

Thanks for your time Tom,
There are no leaks that I can see. It does blow some blue smoke when the engine is revved up after starting but only on the way up the rpm range. There is a ~ 1" breather? hose below the engine that blows oil vapor when the engine is hot. several seconds In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Tom Warner > How about some more information first.

Excessive oil useage.
I just got the coach 2 months ago. I did change the air filter
and the oil was changed the day I picked it up (along with the oil filters). Since I am a diesel rookie I didn't notice anything but what I considered excessive black exhaust smoke under heavy loads. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, randydupree wrote: > dirty air filter is one,leaks are another. not trying to be smart about it,but do you have any more info? did it just start using oil,did you just change the oil? etc..randy93wb > ----- Original Message ----- > From: williamcharrison > To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 3:06 PM > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Excessive oil useage. > > > Anyone know any reason (other than bad rings) why a Cat 3208 with 87k > on it would use excessive amounts of oil (4qts in 900 miles). > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- > YAHOO!

Thanks for your time Richard and Carol,
Yes it is turbo charged.
