Oil in tailpipe

I have a 7.3 diesel -90 and i have some oil coming out my tailpipe.No blue smoke but of course some oil consumption.

Big diesels are new to me, but i changed my oil, filter and cleaned the crancase ventilation valve.

Used Shell 10-40 oil for diesel engines.
What can be the reason for the oil in my tailpipe?

It's running great, starting fine and has a steady idle.

Removed the oil filler cap, but can't feel much blow by

Are you sure it is oil, moisture mixed with exhaust residue can look and feel like oil?
