Engine burning oil

[Landrover]

Anyone had any issues with New Holland (fpt) engines burning oil ? tractor is burning alot,as blue use has gone up too its not done many hours (2700) thought I'd ask on here before a dealers call in the morning thanks in advance

Has it got the correct oil in it?

Is it using an appreciable amount of sump oil or do you just have a blue haze?

What model tractor and what jobs are it doing?

 

[Landrover]

Yes correct oil, it's using quite a amount. T7 230, been ploughing and pulling the top down recently, after a bit of research it could be something to do with the breather maybe ? Any way of checking that ?

Check the rocker cover breather pipe isn't restricted.

Also I think there is a filter built into the top of the rocker cover that you can change.

 

[Landrover]

Hopefully it's something to do with the rocker cover breather, I'll have a look

Have herd it said before about filter in rocker cover can cause high oil use is it dealer serviced

 

[Landrover]

Yeah dealer serviced, any ideas how to check the rocker breather filter/pipe ? Got a long warranty on it so will phone dealer

 

[Mursal]

That sounds like a plan ....

Has it always used engine oil from being brand new? How old is it?

 

[Zetor]

How much are you putting in per day?

 

[Landrover]

After a bit more research could it be something to do with the air filter inside the back wheel ? The intake is a bit "gummy" ?

@Landrover has the tractor always used engine oil from being brand new?

@Landrover has the tractor always used engine oil from being brand new?

It has used a little bit but no more than I would expect it to but had used alot recently
Trying the air brake filter first though as has been suggested by someone else, can't get a fitter until Wednesday

 

[Albert]

@Landrover could you keep us updated with how you get on please?

I know a couple of local tractors have had problems with engines using oil

I had this on my t6.160 not long after its 1200 hr dealer service on heavy pto work it started to use 2l of engine oil a day and would got from the max to below min marks on the dipstick in a couple of days. Now it had always had 15w40?? Ambra engine oil in it and I noticed that this time they put 10w30?? Low ash oil in and I was blaming that. When i queried it apparently it should be run on the low ash oil. On light work oil consumption was livable but still on the high side compared to previous. I mentioned it to the service manager this spring and he told me to live with it till the next service and they would change the breather filter in the rocker cover. They did this and it has returned to normal. They say the wrong engine oil blocked up the filter quicker than it should and this causes excessive oil consumption. They have looked after this tractor from new and brought what I assumed was the correct oil with them !!

Ps I can't the remember the correct oil grades and its persisting down out ?? and can't be arsed to go and check so hence the question marks next to the oil grades ??
