2019 6.7 oil consumption

[Case79]

I’ve got a 2019 Ram 3500 with the 6.7HO and I’ve used 3.5 gallons of oil in 32,000 miles. I’m thinking that is a bit much. I’m using Rotella T6 5W40. There are no external leaks. I have an appointment set at the dealership on October 3. Lookin for some in puts. Thanks

Just got back from a trip to Alaska. Didn’t want to stop while on the road. I just kept a close watch on it

If it burning that much oil the DPF must get full quick

Hoping you were at least topping off lost oil.
Made a round trip to an Arctic Ocean about a month ago, no burnt oil. Yukon as well as Alaska are beautiful this time of the year.

Yes I keep it topped off

I have noticed that I’m going through more DEF lately

We were on the road for 9 months. Made a loop from Michigan to the east coast to Florida across to California up to Washington through Canada to Alaska and back to Michigan it was a great trip.

Thats irrelevant as the systems are not linked unless you are doing more regens then normal

yup
DPF fills more often > regens more often > higher exhaust temps more often > more DEF consumption

Somewhere on here you can see my comments about oil consumption. I have added a quart every 5000 to 7000 miles between oil changes since it was new. Now that the HPFP has been replaced on the recall, it hasn’t lost any oil. So it only took 344,000 miles to break In.
