I have a 2020 299. early this year I had an engine replaced under warranty do to cylinder washed out from def failure at 470 hours. I now have 630 hours total on machine and it has only used half a tank of def since replacement engine was installed 160 hours ago. Dealer said everything is fine but this seems like very little consumption of DEF. Any opinion on this?
Thanks Lenny
