It might be a lot different than a 5th gen, but we don’t know yet as there isn’t a 5th gen out.
It’s got far more in common with the current CGI blocks than you think. Oil in the pan is the same in both. The operating oil temps will be very similar since the oil system, to include the pump and cooling, is nearly identical. They are both ISB’s after all. Just simple tractor engines, it’s the emissions that complicates them.
Point is that your checking method isn’t the ideal one, and if you want to document an issue it needs to be an ideal check. Having watched accurate oil temps, not the fake OEM gauge that isn’t accurate below operating temp, I’m letting you know you need to do your documented checks overnight.
i agree to a point and do get what you are saying. I do agree oil checks would be most accurate after sitting all night especially for what I am tracking.
Back to the real subject
UPDATE !
Truck is back at the dealer as 1-24-2024. Dealer is surprised by how much it has risen in 400 miles. Had a talk with the manager about what's going on and how to move forward. Pulled oil sample after documenting oil level with them. I went with a Fleetguard kit, over nighted the sample and paid for same day processing. I should have the results by Monday I would imagine. Have not heard from the dealer since I have dropped it off.
This is the moring of the 24th
This what the deal pulled for documentation. Over ran onto the cable.....
