oil down
check my oil thursday after tranny fluid change and it was 1/4 quart low same as it was for first 120 miles of owning it.checked today after 140 mile drive yesterday and it was down a full quart now.wtf? no puddles uderneath left it run in driveway and nothing.no oil laying in valley.i did check my air filter and even though the minder said new its black and coated with dirt.i am gonna change on monday.my question is could the clogged air filter pull that much oil through the ccv? no smoking or anything also.i was on throttle a lot harder yesterday to see how much snot it had out on highway.
thanks for any help or ideas.this is first diesel

checked my exhaust and no oil residue.ran for a while and no blue smoke either.guess ill just keep an eye on it after filter change.the only thing i didnt check was the fuel filter to see if any oil was in there.if it was burning or putting that much through the exhaust it should be smoking right?

Put 1000 miles and check again. Also check for blow by thur the oil fill tube. Start take cap off, turn upside down, if it just bonces it okay. I dout its using that much without real signs.
