This issue may be solved if you have a "Philadelphia D" mechanism in proper adjustment -- look for a screw next to the usual screw on the low C key, which depresses the low D key when the C key is pressed. If you do not have that mechanism, then try leaving the low D finger down when going to the octave above; if you are particularly adept, try pressing the D key down without covering the hole. On my oboe (Marigaux 2001) with a Philadelphia D, it slurs wonderfully. On my former instruments (Loree and Laubin), without the Philadelphia D, it slurred adequately with the help of the D finger, particularly if it was not played forte.
