Message: [QUOTE="dmd, post: 1526998, member: 1848"] I smithed to LE8700 a year or so ago. Now if you have been using Belo that some of the rings may have some carbon in the ring seats and it will take a little while to the LE to clean out. During that time it can use oil.. Mine sure did.. went on a trip and it used almost a gallon in 3000 miles. Did lots of towing during that time also. I just kept topping it off. Now 10,000 later it doesnt use any oil at all. I used to have to add a quart at 3000 (5000 oil changes).. 7.3 runs quieter also. I was told that the ring seats get gummed up with the carbon and it takes time to clean them out and reseat the rings. I use the 8700 with 5000 milk changes as recommended. I dont like running the oil until it is worn out and wearing the motor too. Clean oil is cheap insurance against expensive engine wear. [/QUOTE]
