Was just changing my oil 7500 mi and was looking around with a flashlight, and noticed that the truck has what appears to be an oil pan leak. Nothing on the floor but it's very obvious. I saw something on you tube about it. Just wondering if anyone else here has had a similar issue. If so what has the dealer said about it. I change my oil every 2500 myself so this is the third oil change since new and the first sighting of the leak. Plan on addressing this at the 10000 mile service.
are you caning the truck within can inch of its life? If not, you’re wasting a $hit ton of money on oil. Get some oil analysis done. I pulled my factory oil at 5k miles, the analysis was as expected, no surprises, plenty of life left. Mileage included 2 road trips of about 1k miles, mostly street miles with some minor off road exclusions and some enjoyment of the horsepower. The recommendation was to push to 7500 miles with no other changes and analyze again.
If by ‘common’ you mean a few every 10,000 units, then yeah, it’s common. possibly .075-0.1% of the current trucks maybe? You see the posts here complaining about it, but you don’t see the hundreds of other ’17-’18 users here who don’t have the issue. Even so, I think this is a part begging for aftermarket intervention.
