I'll post this here to answer everyone's questions. A little background on this particular tractor...we bought this tractor used approximately 10 years ago from the neighbor that purchased it new. It was they're big tractor at the time.At 5k hrs on the clock, he wasn't satisfied with the oil consumption, so he had our local dealer completly overhaul the engine. In the meantime he had to purchase an equivalent of it to use as the overhaul ran into planting time. He continued to use this 7150 for another 150-200 hrs until we bought it after having to rent it from them while our big tractor at the time had a massive breakdown. This 7150 from New till the last couple of years has been a man to the point it would seriously bend Cat 3 hitch pins on the equipment it pulled,which had to be replaced yearly. Currently it still has power, but nothing like it did. The air filters are new,less than 40 hrs on a complete oil and filter service. It used to not blow any black smoke but does some now when a load is applied. It is however not at a steam locomotive smoke status. The oil residue that I see is on the engine side of the turbo, which is making me a bit nervous as some of the horror stories that I have heard of turbos letting go. It will average about 1 qt of oil usage per day under medium to lighter loads. Heavy loads it will run in the 2 to 3 qt per day range, yet there is zero engine blowby,nor blue exhaust smoke typically found on an oil burner engine.
