oil burn on new gladiator rubicon diesel

[CrazyCooter]

You need to pull a 5,000 lb trailer around for 500 miles. This will help set the rings and oil blow-by will subside. The Gen3 ecodiesel uses low-tension piston rings. Good for less friction, bad for blow-by.

I did notice on my 4200 mile SW trip last year towing an RV that we used some oil, but it seems to have stopped since then. I could agree with your theory!

Just realized who owned this comment.....I'd say you are more than qualified to make the statement!

My 09' TDI burned not a drop of oil in 120k miles. My 18' Forester burned about a quart / 2k miles. Some engines burn oil.
