I changed my oil about 2 months ago to M1 truck and SUV with 4800 miles on the odo. I checked it this weekend and it was 1 qt low. Anyone else have this problem. I didn't smell any oil burnig and the oil filter and drain bolt is clean. I know some vehicles will burn some when they first make the switch over to a full syntetic. Hopefully this is what it is.

I changed the factory fill with Chevron Supreme at 1200 miles. I just got the Timing advance and CAI and have been dropping the hammer alot. I also do alot of intown stop and start (severe use) in cold temps. I topped it off and I will see if it needs anymore. I have checked the oil 4-5 times since I changed it over 2 mos ago and never noticed any loss. O well.

You changed it yourself?
And you know it was full?
M1 is pretty slippery. We run it in the blue thing.
My Titan runs on Dinosaur juices.

7qts and it's LOW???? Oil filter and change should be 6.5 qts. of M1. I never had any burn or lowered levels, of course my third oil change went straight to M1 5w-30 synthetic. How many miles were you posting before you finally went to the good stuff? Anyway.....sounds like it's not an issue anymore. may be you just miscalculated the first time???

I switched to M1 at the 4800 mile mark. When I did the change. I put in 7 quarts. Thats howmuch it took to get to the full mark On the dip stick. I like it touching right at the bottom of the high mark.. I also used a Napa gold filter. There's alot of folks that put 7 quarts in to bring it up to full. Ill keep an eye on it now. Maybe it just wanted to mes with me . It's one year old birhtday is coming up

The manual claims 6.5 but most of us use 7 and it fills it. I've never lost an ounce of oil between changes. I'd suggest just keeping an eye on things for a while. Make sure eveything is tight...filter, drain plug...etc.
