A bit off topic, but this is partly a PSA and partly a question to see if anyone else is experiencing this.
We run LCF/NPR maintenance trucks, and we've found that our newer-model trucks with the 6.6L gas engine are burning through oil at an alarming rate.
We have 2024, 2025, and 2026 model trucks, and we're seeing the issue across all three model years. In some cases, they're getting extremely low on oil within roughly 900 miles of an oil change. Our 2026 nearly ran dry with less than 3,000 total miles on the truck.
The dealers in our market are currently scrambling for an explanation.
Has anyone else running the gas engine in LCF/NPR trucks experienced this? If so, has your dealer or manufacturer identified a cause or solution?
For anyone running these trucks, I'd strongly recommend checking the oil frequently rather than assuming you're safe between normal oil-change intervals.
