Our nice weather is supposed to end today, so I'll be back under there trying to wrap this up. I'll let you know how it goes.

When I was at the factory last year, I thought they said that a gallon every 1000 miles was typical. I was reading either the Busnut or Wanderlodge site, someone had said that was high and now you said the same thing. That really concerned me so I just called Newell. They confirmed that it is normal for a gallon each 1000 miles or so.

I tend to top off the engine as often as possible to full so will back it off and see if that lessens the amount of oil used. I think I read that same recommendation on one of the other sites.

When I had the oil changed, they used the Rotella, but my resevoir is still full with Exxon XD-3. I know in the old days they said never to mix different manufactorers oils but is that still the case?
