[QUOTE="fubolislif22, post: 1455546, member: 26440"] So here is a quick update, the truck had a fresh oil change done with 15w40 and filter changed. I then added 2 oz of dye into the fuel tank and 2 oz of dye into the upper fuel filter. So far, I currently have about 170 miles on the new oil change and the dye has been flowing thru the system and I have not noticed or seen any of the dye on the oil dipstick when checking daily with the black light at night. Does this mean that no fuel is getting into the oil system? When we did, the oil change we did try to get the oil to read at the half mark on the dipstick but it looks like the oil is just at the full line. Should I drain some oil when the truck has been sitting overnight to make it read at the “half” line and see if it is creating oil that way by driving it a couple more times? I do not see any dye present on the dipstick/cloth after wiping it and my coolant level looks to be the same as usual (was thinking maybe coolant is leaking in). What do you think? Should I go ahead and make sure the oil level is reading at half and report back if the oil level is rising? But like I said no signs of the dye anywhere when checking the oil. Also, the truck does not smoke when driving, but when I first start it in the morning there is “white vapor” that comes out but I don’t think it’s an issue because once I start driving its gone (and it was cold today).
