Ok, first off I have had the ccv vented to atmosphere for 10-15k miles now. I was tired of seeing the haze and smelling the fumes so I ran it to the exhaust, installed the pipe into the exhaust at an angle and cut the end of the pipe at an angle facing the exit of the exhaust. Did all that to help and hope to prevent pressurizing or putting a vacuum on my crankcase. I drove it hard empty a lot afterwards to make sure I wouldn't blow any seals or gaskets, or blow the dipstick out of the tube. Found no issue. Since then I've changed the oil and put almost 5k miles (4800 to be exact) and a lot of heavy towing and not being easy on it while doing that. I have watched the oil level and it has dropped slowly. Last night I found it right at the lower crosshatch mark. Added 1 quart and its at the top of range on the dipstick. So I have used 1 quart in 5k miles. Is this normal? I have 34800 miles on it now. Rotella T6 5w-40 since first oil change at 5k miles. Sorry for the rant and long post. Just a little concerned. Thanks!
