Hi all,

 

First post. Didn’t see a welcome thread so just going to start here. 
 

day two with my new truck, which I am loving btw. Really like the looks and just seems like a good truck overall. 
 

so I decided to go underneath and snoop around like any guy would under his new truck and I noticed a bit of oil hanging off the bottom of the filter and a bit on the bottom of the pan as well.  Hmm not going to worry yet. Maybe a bit came down the filter upon assembly? It’s not loose but could it be gorilla tight! And odd it’s on the pan too?

 

I will attach a few pics. Anyone see this before?

 

thanks all.

Plenty of times. New vehicle or not it is something that can happen with oil filter seals.

 

I'd just clean it up and check back in 100 miles, if it leaking again then the filter should be swapped.

Yeah that’s what I did. Wiped it all clean and will re check. I’ll update

I always do an early oil change on a new vehicle anyway. And hand tight, which for me is pretty tight, has always been good. I’ll go under tomorrow to see. 
 

I will say I’m liking the mileage so far. Drive back from the dealer returned 14.4mpg which was 65-70 which for having under 10 miles on it is awesome for a 7k plus pound truck. 
 

my last truck I also bought new and it was a Tundra and that only got like 11.2mpg in its maiden voyage. Granted that was during the winter but still. 
 

today I touched 20mpg going 65-68 for the few miles I had to go. I’m impressed and the truck only has 160 miles now.

I’ve been regularly getting between 17.5 and 18.0 mpg (indicated overall trip average) on a long drive i repeatedly make on rolling, sea level terrain aiming to stay around 65-68 mph.

so it was just residual oil drip from the change?

 

I am not sure. Truck is brand new. Took possession with 7mi on it. Not sure why some oil was on the bottom of the filter and a bit on bottom of the pan too. It hasn’t returned so it’s not leaking. Which I’m thankful for.

I believe there was a bulletin stating that the original spec was snug, then 3/4 turn; it was updated to snug, then 1 full turn.

Thanks for the info. I am also facing the same problem. I was actually searching for this https://www.grabmyessay.com/scholarship-essay-writing-service website online because I want to read reviews for an essay writing service. And when I was searching for it online, I also found your post link on google search.

Mine is still dry so I know mine isn’t leaking. No clue why it was there probably from factory but since I wiped it off it hasn’t returned.

So I was watching this TFL video on their new ZR2 Silverado and at 7:20 in there is a bit of oil on the bottom of the filter and they mention it. Same as mine had from the factory. Weird.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
