Anyone have any issues with oil consumption in the 6.4L? Believe there is a much more in depth issue here- improper oil change at the dealer. Just suspecting. Engine holds 15 qts, 4 came out upon the change. Visible metal in filter pleats, oil pan plug magnet covered in metal and multiple oil analysis that show level of metal present is elevated by as much as 1100% over what averages would typically be on a motor of this hrs/miles. 7500 miles. All wear metals are up, especially aluminum (up 500%), copper(extremely at 1100%) chromium (600%), iron(extreme at 725%), lead, tin, nickel, and titanium. Also oil is very boken down with no detergent or additive properties really left. FYI- First oil change at 1500 miles- then I bought it used at that point. Drove 6000 miles or so, did my own oil change and this is what I encountered. Not really optimistic. Tough motor....yes. Damage? I suspect a lot. Any thoughts or direction on what to think.......Thank you.
