Where is the best place to get the oil analyzer test kits from?

 

[MAS]

That sounds reasonable, what is the labor on them?

 

[MAS]

Seems like if you have fuel dilution you know you have an injector, HPFP, or emissions equipment issue. All of those are covered under the AEM. Seems they should figure it out.

 

[MAS]

If their is a spec for their fuel return as referenced above or that they are diluting the oil I think there is plenty case to be made. Seems many have had success contacting the attorneys that ramrodded the AEM…

 

[MAS]

Me thinks top isn’t planning on keeping long term?

 

[MAS]

I think eight years IS long term

Dang how time flies, it’s hard to believe. I guess I meant you weren’t planning on keeping it and changing oil every 2k for the next 100,000 miles.

What are you considering to replace it?

 

[MAS]

My glow plug light hardly ever does more than link on them right back off. For Texas residents they would be better off not having them.

 

[MAS]

If nothing else keep record of the issue and costs to fix. If you are still under the extended warranty from the AEM you may get reimbursed. Seems as though some have had good results by contacting the law firm that handled the AEM.

 

[MAS]

At least sounds like you should still be covered Top, just going to have to front the cost of troubleshooting/fixing it and get a reimbursement.

 

[MAS]

Have heard the lawyers who ram riddled the emissions lawsuit are pretty good at motivating the dealer I would shoot one an email with your UOA report.

 

[MAS]

Personally if it were me and silver showed up that baby would be going to the sale barn/traded at dealer ASAP

 

[MAS]

Dang I hadn’t thought much about it but think I had the AEM done at 98,000 miles currently at 148,000 and change I guess it’s gone.

 

[MAS]

No, but I thought the AEM read same as all other warranties 4 years or 48k miles whichever came first.

 

[MAS]

My ship already sailed and shortly after I got the cel for the swirl valves. I’m still driving it as is no issues so far. I’ll probably pull the intake sometime but as long as it runs I can block that little yellow engine out of my head for the $3000+ I was quoted to replace the intake and turbo coolant hose.

 

[MAS]

No, that's what I've been using and they (GDE) said it may not be the best choice and to try Rotella T6 5W40.



Dang maybe I should've been a diesel mechanic. Have you tried to find any good independent shops around that will work on an EcoD?

The dealer wanted more. I think I may give it a whirl on my own just finding the time.

 

[MAS]

Can’t say it’s a problem or not but think the thermostat in my 2015 has lost a little in 163,000 miles and 10 years. It runs cooler water oil and trans temps then it use to unless I’m towing them it’s pretty normal still.
