quart every 3,000 miles

Okay, I'll bite...
What's the spec for GEN2 oil capacity, and how much oil did you use 3,000 miles ago when you changed it?

Not sure we are are on the same page. Might be my ****** typing.
I changed oil for the first time at 2,000 miles , it had used none.
I now have 5,000 miles and I’m a quart low.
Not sure what they hold , 6 I think. It was full when changed at 2,000. I’m not over concerned. Seems a bit much but I’ve read about worse.

No, I understood you correctly.

You're "not sure what they hold?"

How much oil did you use, then? Do you remember?

I'm willing to bet that you used only 5. If you read the dipstick before you ran the engine, then you didn't use enough oil. That would explain the "missing" oil.

Dealerships make mistakes. Unless you witnessed them put 6 quarts in or you took a measurement shortly after you took the truck back home to confirm a proper fill level, it is entirely possible the missing oil was never there to begin with. It’s unlikely you’d burn through a quart of oil within 2000 miles without smelling something or seeing smoke.

Yep!
Had a dealer over fill a car because the year before took a quart more.
Then they had the nerve to tell me the extra will just blow by everything and out the exhaust. I said awesome story now take it back up and drain off a quart or start all over and do it right.
