we have noticed as it gets time for oil change, consumption increases. Also a dirty air filter will dramatically increase oil usage. On our machine, 913c, we can harvest for about three days, then all of a sudden its two qts low. Also we don't fill the crankcase up to the full mark unless on severe slopes. Crank splash will vaporize some oil. We had a 200 Allis (2900) eng. long time ago that would consume 2qts per day. One day we ran out of spare oil qts. so we ran it til noon. Brought in oil and checked it and found it right above add mark. Ran it the rest of the day and it was still at add. Eng wasn't 'burning' oil. Just would lower to the add mark and stay there.
