[QUOTE="Grouse, post: 7932893, member: 29352"] This ^ plus they all breath - they are 1980’s/90’s old school Diesel engines. what oil are you using - you need a good quality 15w40 in them, modern thin oils are no good for these engines, ditto SUTO oils or dealer branded budget oils. Personally we use Morris or Fuchs 15w40 mineral oils in this type of engine. Yes, they breath a bit but that’s normal. I’d also expect to use about 1 litre of oil every 50 to 75 hours depending on what she is doing and how hard she is being driven. One of ours spends time on a log splitter and other stationary equipment at low revs, and then the rest of the time is driven quite hard to make up for it to try and avoid glazed bores. [/QUOTE]
