So FWIW, I contacted the service manager at the local (Spokane) LS dealer-walked him through the NH Advice Bulletin information-while we spoke he logged on to the LS dealer/service network and found nothing from LS ( yet) regarding this issue on LS badged tractors.

I also reached out to LS North America and will post what, if anything, they respond with.

The Spokane service manager did suggest he could read the ECU off my machine when I bring it in and tell me which rev level it is at ( checking against the NH rev level provided in the Advice)-maybe by then LS will have provided details on LS badged machines with the 1.9L turbo.

I plan on changing the oil before next start up and will go with 5w-40 synthetic as it will be my 50 hour service.

A further update-reached out to the service manager at the dealer where I bought my XR4155HC-he confirmed that there is nothing from LS for LS badged 1.9l turbos. He did note that while the basic engines in the NH and LS are the same they are spec’d differently so it is possible that the turbo ( and even the ECU software) are different.

Results of oil sample were within normal ranges. Crossing my fingers and will do another oil analysis at fall/50 hour service to compare the results.

Good info on diagnosing turbocharger also. I may have to pull the intake to inspect. I've only had one regen over 25 hours thus far (180 hrs on tractor).

The one thing that doesn't make sense is the diagnosis of oil present at the compressor inlet. I say this because the CCV vents into the inlet pipe and creates quite a mess with oil. So you will see oil present and it's not a turbo failure.

You can plumb and oil to air filter to alleviate the oil coating your intake.


That looks like oil for a gas engine. Mobile 1 makes 0w-40 for diesel engines.

Thanks. I saw that oil but it looks like it's more for Euro cars/trucks. Do Europeans even have trucks?

In any case, I had trouble finding it for sale in the US. I think, if I ever need it, I'll use the T6. Rotella is an excellent oil. Actually, a lot of them are.

Thanks again. :)
