Smelled some burt oil real slight, checked for leaks, didn't see any. Took a 150 mi trip two days later,truck was smoking in the rear view. pulled over, noticed oil from the filter location to the spare.First oil change I did myself, 4K mi, , wix xp, PUP, I'm OCD on maint cleanliness. Second at 8k had the dealer do with my supplies wix,PUP etc, The dont sell any 6.4s they said no oil in stock. $20 labor, with tire rotation. While they were looking into the Exhaust noise ( normal they say HA HA ) anyway, the filter was so loose I could move it with two fingers!, and 1/4 qt low.Tightened filter drove home power washes the underside, the yellow bilsteen shocks were black. Pissed. Still have a weep at the filter today.Could be residual. Going to put a new filter this afternoon, and see if there is any problems above the location, like the oil cooler lines etc. Maybe the Tech didn't remove the gasket from the previous filter. Maybe check lugnut's ridiculous, that I have to check their work. Dealer is not that close by. Any other thing to check,thoughts?
