oil pan 4
Thread starter
Alright I think I have my test protocol figured out.
I'm a fill the predator 459cc powered wood chipper with oil all the way to the mouth of the dipstick hole. I'll add a sample line and sample valve to the oil system. Run it for upto an hour, as that's the size of the next pile of bush to wood chip. Pull a sample at idle after I chip the pile of bursh, while it's still hot AF, dump it back in the crank case 2x, pull a 3rd sample inspect it in the sunlight for metal dust in the oil set it aslide for testing later. Next mod it for the oil filter. The sample line becomes an oil line and the sample valve becomes a sample valve at the inlet to oil filter. Install a type 111 super nubby oil filter do not add any oil unless absolutely necessary. Hopefully the first oil sample and super nub oil filter only uses about 6 ounces of oil and the oil level is still on the dipstick, if the oil level isn't on the dipstick after a quick little run to fill the oil filter add oil pulled from my 459cc powered stump grinder. The stump grinders oil is definitely dirtier and older than what's in the wood chipper right now.
Run it for several more hours with the oil filter filtering and pull another sample, juat like the first one, after chipping a pile of wood running for about the same amount of time at least 45 minutes to an hour, while it's still hot at idle.
