It shouldn't be using oil, and at 1000 miles, you wouldn't think it would need rings. There must be a leak somewhere.

So its only when you're in low range doing work?

Well. I have a 1988 Quadrunner, and I don't use any oil when I haul firewood.

How much oil are we talking about here?

That is a lot of wood over a long distance. Was the engine straining due to either terrain or weight of the trailer/wood, or was it an easy pull?
