D-358: Normal Oil Consumption

Posted by Jim Allen on December 05, 2005 at 07:43:29 from (209.173.160.22):

Now that I have the major leaks on my 826
repaired (oil cooler o-rings), I wonder what
sort of "normal" oil consumption I should
expect next season. The tractor is showing 8K
hours. I'm not sure if it's been apart Iif it has,
it's been at least 10 years), but when I
adjusted the valves, the upper end and the
inside of the V/C were almost shiny new
inside, so it's either been serviced well or it's
been apart. It runs good and gave me a touch
over 4 gal/hour pulling an 8-shank chisel. I
just swtched it over to my favorite diesel oil,
Rotella-T 15W-40. It had been running
Case/IH 30wt for at least the five years prior to
my buying it.
