our trucks are always on the low(er) side... so it sounds like its back to normal now. as long as its not ZERO then you should be good now.

instead of seafoaming it, ive heard a lot of people just draining a liter of oil from the pan, and adding a liter of diesel, driving the egnine for about 30 min, and then doing an oil change. apparently it cleans everything right up, and its cheaper than a bottle of seafoam. im gunna test it on mine this weekend.
