I agree with the previous two posts.
1. Winter diesel really makes a difference in fuel mileage, and we feel it alot up here in Alaska.
2. That darn air filter shoyuld stay clean if u want to continue having good mileage. Nothing like having a clogged filter that isnt allowing the proper air thru there. Good Luck with wat u find.

There's no way to burn up a processor with oil. The whole engine could fall out and the processor would be fine!
