Lubricating Oil Consumption in Low Load and High Idle Applications
Engines operating in a low load and high idle duty cycle may experience oil consumption above published specification limit in
Lubricating Oil Consumption and Acceptable Limits, Service Bulletin 3379214, and fault codes associated with high EGR
temperature.
Root Cause
Obsolete piston rings were unable to fully seat with the cylinder liner with insufficient time (break-in period) under low load.
Verification
For ISL G CM2180: Verify if CPL is 5232 on the engine dataplate.
If not, review engine service repair history to determine if the engine is built with or upfitted with steel pistons.
For engines prior to engine serial number (ESN) 74765136, review engine service repair history to determine if the engine is
equipped with the obsolete piston rings.
Verify if the engine is equipped with obsolete piston rings:

Confirm that any of the following fault codes are present:
High EGR Temperature Fault Codes:
2961: Exhaust Gas Recirculation Temperature - Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range - Least Severe Level
2962: Exhaust Gas Recirculation Temperature - Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range - Moderately Severe
Level
Verify oil consumption is greater than the amount outlined in Lubricating Oil Consumption and Acceptable Limits, Service
Bulletin 3379214
Verify the EGR cooler is fouled or plugged
Resolution
Follow the troubleshooting for Lubrication Oil Consumption in the Fault Code Troubleshooting Manual.
If no resolution is found and the engine is equipped with obsolete piston rings, replace all piston rings, pistons and cylinder liners
with new part numbers listed table 3.
Replace fouled EGR cooler. Reference Service Procedure 011-019 EGR Cooler in Section 11.
