I swapped engines from a 2011 LUJ to a 2015 LUV due to a cracked piston.
The new engine likes to burn oil until it gets to the bottom of the dipstick and then seems to be OK.
If I add oil to bring it back up to the normal range, It will just burn it until it is back down again.
It will have trouble starting sometimes taking 4 tries until it will stay started smoking all the while.
If I come to a hard stop or turn, it will misfires and smoke on re-acceleration.
Keeping the revs low seems to help. If traveling for while in 6th and drop it to 3rd to get on it, it will stumble and belch out a smoke screen. If I do that again right away, it is fine.
After the oil level gets low enough, everything is OK except for some stumbling at startup after sitting but the original engine also did that.
I checked and still have the PCV nipple in the intake and the PCV diaphragm seems to be OK.
When I first filled it after the swap, it took the expected ~4.5quarts.

Any ideas.
