Oil burning as in seeing smoke or in having to add oil? If it is the latter, you need to identify where your oil is going...

1. Past rings -> crankcase (not an issue with open breather)
2. Past valves -> into exhaust (I think unusual in our engines)
3. Past turbo "seal" -> into exhaust (could be excess resistance in return line, increased air intake resistance, decreased exhaust resistance, oil too thin)

As in seeing blue smoke under certain conditions.

I am headed up to SpecialtyZ to install CSF's new triple-pass radiator soon so he is going to diagnose the issue during that time. Will report more when I know more.
