oil consumption
my 96 is using oil rather then leaking it. dipstick flange repaired and not leaking anymore, anyways I have consumed 5 quarts of oil in the past 1000 miles.
my question is where is the oil being burned? injector seals? turbo? worn engine?
240,700 miles
I was shocked to see the dipstick oil level was bellow the hatched area after 3 weeks of casual driving, before that was at the bottom of the cross hatched area which says add 2 quarts

I had a superduty that did this, injector O rings fixed it, like said already look at your fuel filter, mine was black
240k seems young for rings or leaking valves, I would think its something else, yes it could be a turbo seal.
what type of symptoms do you have though? my truck also had a bad injector ( I think) I was having very hard starts, and lots of blue smoke

It smokes blue from start up and not so much as it gets warmer. Smokes alot at 1800rpm + towing or not. I gotta clean the garage before i can bring it in for the fuel filter.
Also, my ggauge says bellow 8psi boost while towing a 6000 pound tractor with a skid seer trailer at 50-60 mph.
Hard to replace injector seals?

No just make sure you seat them correctly.
I decided to do mine on a work night like a idiot and found myself awake at 3 am(ran into other problems) half asleep seating my injectors and ended up with worse oil consumption and smoke...
long story short I ended up tearing a ring when seating them
