What gives???? I bought the truck with 125K on it from my uncle. I have every receipt he always had the oil changed at 3k. I go 5K because i drive so much. I do use rotella. Might try delo. This thing has had a very eeasy life.

884X4broncoII Has he ever servced the CDR valve? It is that tuna can looking thing, held on with two bolts on the drivers side valve cover if it has a turbo. If a nonturbo it is under the air cleaner on the back side of the air intake.If it has not been cleaned in a while it can suck oil vapors out of the crankcase and burn it causing high oil consumption. It should be cleaned everyother oil change. To clean remove it and soak it in solvent or gas.Repeat until the solvent is clear, then let air dry. Do not use compressed air as that can rupture the diaphram on the inside.

O-rings..Not on an IDI. they don't have injectors like ours. For 1 quart every 100 miles I would bank on a cracked/hole in a piston! or 8!
farmert good call. I haven't worked on those at all other than injection pumps but I have heard of what your are talking about.******** type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_5620978", true); *********>
