Hello all, 2000 f350 7.3 with about 240,000.
I bought this truck in January and it’s been mostly sitting since I changed the glowplugs,gpr and oil cooler orings. Went to start it yesterday and it was several long cranks before it fired up. It ran fine afterwards with no codes. This morning i checked the oil in the hpop and it was low and took about 3/4 of a quart to fill back up, then the truck started just fine. I let it sit for 5 hours and rechecked the hpop and it was down about 3 inches from the top. The crankcase oil is full and there no leaks anywhere. I’ve done some reading on this and heard lots of ideas but never a solution. Where the heck is this oil going? Thanks for any help,Al
