Did the low oil light come on? Did the oil pressure drop? Was the top end going nuts? I would imagin if you ran the oil on a 603 that low the lifters would sound like they were going to come threw the hood!

Is the oil pressure reading normal now?

So where could the oil have went? Check the crank case breather and turbo.
Oil pressure was normal pegged at 3bar the entire drive. Low oil light did not come on. But when i arrived i did notice the lifters ticking a little louder then usual. No oil spots on the pavement either.

Oil pressure now is as it is normally around 2 bar at idle 3 bar once moving. Checked the oil level on the dipstick and it shows full, the oil looks almost new not dark black, must be the low soot from ULSD.
