Truck tasks, mildly complicated.
Cummins for the first time at 23,700 miles. Here's why, per the owner's manual:"Check the engine oil level at least 30 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off." It seems this big, complicated engine has myriad nooks and crannies that hang on to the 0W40 oil.
The morning we departed on a big trip to Maine, I checked the oil level parked on my slanted driveway after an overnight cold soak. It looked 3/4 full. The next morning, on a level hotel parking garage floor it looked full. At the next gas stop I checked it after just having switched off the engine. Sure enough, it looked low again. But an after-lunch check, also on flat ground showed it to be full.
En route to Maine, Guffman got a chance to explore part of the Mohawk Trail, and on the steep descent from Whitcomb Summit in Massachusetts I played with the two-stage exhaust brake and the gear-limit switches on the steering wheel . Often toggling the exhaust brake between its"max" and"auto" settings provided all the retardation that was needed, with a dash gauge reading out instantaneous retardation horsepower. Very cool.
