Oil Consumption

[TNFarmZR2]

Has anyone had the add oil message come on before your first oil change? They told me this is totally normal 4200 miles. ( I drive a lot but not aggressive.) They put my levelling kit on from Peak and my black out kit and changed the oil they said every 2000 miles 1qt is normal. I can't imagine why they have engine issues. My dmax never had an engine issue. 198K miles.

I have always checked oil levels between changes and added when necessary. With these engines using super thin oil it’s bound to use some between changes, especially if your going by the oil life gauge.

This was 3 quarts low at 4500 miles. It makes me feel somewhat better it burns it bc its thin. I am not an engine guy former FF/medic and construction company VP now. I dont know engines. Hence why I asked. I dont know how you guys keep up with this stuff.
