My TY has 70,000 miles and I get it too.Ive been told by alot of people that its our valve seal guides.It seems to be common.If I drive mine regularly it will burn about 2-3 quarts of oil in between changes.I havent noticed any difference in performance though.Im not running synthetic,cause I figure it would burn even more.

Why is this not good.With an oil leak Ive been told synthetic will burn more quickly.

1 good turbo + non-synthetic oil + time= 1 bad turbo
the non-synthetic oil will eventually "coke" up the center section of the turbo by being cooked by the heat after each shutdown. It isn't as critical on our trucks since we have a water cooled center section but you really need to be running some type of synthetic. I do believe that you are correct about the synthetic leaking easier but it really isnt worth it.

If it smokes only on startup after its set for a while then it's your valve seals.

Alright, well I'll give it a shot and switch over to mobil 1 next change.They were running regular oil when I bought it.I hope the synthetic doesnt free up a bunch of crap and cause problems,especially the turbo.
