you are aware that it takes some time for all the oil to run back to the pan so when you stop for gas your oil will always read low for about 20 minutes.

I have oil consumption issues with Double Trouble that appear to be speed
related. I use Shell Rotella T 15-40W and if I drove 55 - 60 the consumption
was nil. If I raised the speed up to 70 the oil consumption went up
significantly. I don't have any specific figures as all I'd do is fill it up
to the dipstick line and no I haven't calibrated the dip stick.

I am curious to the result of changing the oil dipstix change since Rob states the oil level seems normal when he travels at 55-60 mph and changes when he drives over that amount.
The oils are distributed at the 55-60 mph speed and if it were a drain back issue, it would seem he would see it when he checked it then as well.
This of course is if he is checking oil level every time at the same time when pulled into the station for refill.
Hopefully, checking the level a bit later will see less oil use, that is the easy fix, I think.
Just thinking it curious that only 5mph more can make that much of a difference.
Could the rings be disrupted that much with that little change in motion/force?????
Could a vibration due to friction cause this and might an additive correct the friction?
Just my thoughts
