If youre having oil consumption issues that you think may be a bit more than "Normal",, have a look at the black hose that comes up on the right front of the head. Make sure it is aimed up as far away( down its length, not necessarily trying to go straight up) from the head as ya can get it. That way whatever oil mist gets past the "Scrubby" thats Supposed to be stuffed in the head will have a chance at collecting & dripping back in. You mite wanna pop the tank & pull that hose & have a look to see it that thing is still in there. Are ya seeing increased consumption as the miles increase on the oil change? By 2500 miles I was seeing my Rotella T get used up a lot faster than when it was fresh. I always carried a little chainsaw oil bottle ( coupla ounces) with a top from a gear oil bottle, which is cut off on the tip. I also had a small piece of wood with a groove to lay on the oil fill, cuz it was always hard to open & I didnt like plier marks on it.
