Currently searching for some one reliable to pull the bearings. Proving hard to find more then a basic parts changer here. May end up doing it myself but trying to maintain my warranty as they are supposedly a covered item.

If you're burning oil then it will increase the ash load on you DPF. The same additives that we get from mixing in the gear oil were purposefully removed from the motor oil because they weren't good for the DPF's longevity.

Thats what I thought. It hasn't been burning any, even on that long drain. I'll grab some and maybe drain some oil now to go ahead and add it.
