300SDL Burning oil
My 300SDL has 180K miles on it and is burning oil. I see no blow-by smoke coming out of the valce cover when I take off the oil cap. Air filter has been changed and there appears to be no problem with the engine getting air, but she is consuming about a quart of oil evey 150 - 200 miles. What are possible sources of oil consumption in a 300SDL - injector pump, ... ?

A broken oil ring could do it for one.

Welcome to the forum.
Why does your story sound oh so familiar to me................................ http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=138131 With no blowby, I'd almost bet a dollar that you have the identical problem. |

Yeah I didn't read the part where he said he was burning a quart every 150-200 miles! Just order a rebuilt turbo and swap it in.

At one quart per 20 miles I'd be calling AAA for a flat bed!
At least all the engine internals will be getting nice and lubbed with that much oil going through it.
