I had it on performance 100hp and the the 2 switch setting on stock. truck just seems to drink oil with this controller. My old 12v never dropped a quart at 5k. This truck with smarty on it. Seems to be going through quite a bit. I plowed the other day and it and that requires getting into the peddal a bit. I swear I burned 2 quarts plowing. I think I am going to put my quadzilla chip back on and sell the smarty. Not worth the amount of oil I am going through sor 30 more horse

Advocate of getting the ban button used on him...
I'm thinking you have something else wrong. I run mine in SW3 (100HP) TM2 TQ2 and PoD 65 to 75 and don't use a drop of oil.
I have also never heard of anyone burning oil just because of a programmer.

I'm same as Rockcrawler, have had my JR on for about 20K now @ 100HP and the truck uses the same amount of oil between changes as always... about 1/4 QT every 7K. I run RedLine 15x40 but I drive light-footed as a rule.

I agree with RockCrawler, I have over 65k on my jr and had a sr for 15K before that. I've never had to add extra oil. I wouldn't get rid of that smarty it's a great programmer.

Well I thiink, and really hope not. But my air filter is dirty. And its a after marrket one. I am going to pull the tubes and look for oil. I think it maybe time to trade it in. I can even imagine the cost of fixing this.

No amount of fueling by the Smarty should cause engine oil burn.
BTW I have been trying to get less smoke with Smarty Sr. POD and tried the lowest SW number 1 setting but modified torque management to #4 and POD on 99. Works great very little to no smoke and super snappy on the pedal!
I had been using SW5 which was the highest recommended for a stock clutch and it could smoke heavy if I got on it.
