A bit of an update on mine
I had had no problems until about 2 months ago. At that time the oil level light came on. Sure enough very low on oil. Key point here was this was the longest between changes, about 2500 miles and the first time there was a large amount of highway driving.
I went to the service department and got the royal run around and the old oil test number becasue they could see nothing wrong. The service desk guy really blew me off (others at the dealership did not)
THen I found this thread on the site and gathered up a bunch of details and fired it at them. That put most of the BS to an end God, I love this site.
So the decision was to run it to the next oil change. I watch the level and for the next 2500 KM the oil level did not move (1.6 km to the mile) Then I went on a round trip of 750 km (375 one day, 375 three days later)
In the word of Gomer Pile, Surprise, Surprise!! Oil stick down two notches, which just proved what we were trying to tell them. Needed to be extended highway speed driving.
So A new PVC valve was put in. They had to steal one off one of the ones on the lot (told them it had to be from a black one they believed me for a minute) which tells me any made recently have the new valve in them already.
The tech who worked on the truck commented about how different the two parts were.
So, I leave for a similar trip soon, will post the results.
