I have 2006 fleetwood flair with 6000 mi need to add oil about every 900mi . I see no leak on the ground or gray or black smoke. Wayne

My guess is an over filled engine. The OP says he has to add oil every 900 miles but does not say how much. If it is between the marks it does not need oil!

My guess is you know nothing about the 8.1. :p
Tha actia instrument cluster will alert the operator whenever there is a low oil volum condition.
I guess I missed it where the OP said that his Actia dash was saying that he had low oil. IF the crankcase was overfilled, because of a dip stick error, and the excess oil was forced out, and the OP saw that the oil level was a quart low(by the dip stick) then the Actia dash would say NOTHING. The ACTIA dash will NOT alert the operator IF the system is filled to one quart or so OVER the required oil level.
