premature change oil notification
anyone had issues with change oil required on overhead coming on too soon...it started at about 49000 miles...had oil and fuel filter changed and 1600 miles later oil change required comes on...took to dealer for another issue and they tell me the ecm is saying my idle time is 25% which is causing this..i tell them that the ecm is wrong...i dont idle 25%of the tim...a couple of minutes top in cooler weather and off i go on a 39 mile one way to work (mostly highway speeds). that was a friday ...saturday change oil and on monday(you guessed it) oil change required comes back on...call the dealer who says there are no tsb's for this problem and cummins engineers don't have a solution...the service manager says basically i will have to live with it or he can try and diagnose the problem at my cost(since the basic warranty has expired.) my thinking is that fuel is leaking into oil and throwing off the viscosity sensor thus causing change oil required to come on...dealer says that truck is not throwing any codes for injectors... now has been about 1900miles since oil change and the frigging change oil required comes on about every 4th day...reset and go on down the road...
