Hoping someone will be able to help us out with our fleet of trucks.
Here is my problem I run 2 C15 engines 6 ISX 15L Cummins motors & 2 new Paccar MX 13. All these motors haul gravel big loads 105 500 lbs. Change oil & filter on religious 300 hr basis less than 10k miles with Cat & fleet guard filters & Delo 400 15-40.
what we have going on is cam problems there has been scratches in cam showing at only 250k miles in the isx & lost a cam in c15 at 450k miles. This seems premature not?
So talking with Cat tech he also has a company showing cam issues with 200k miles with Delo oil.
So do I switch oils? Amsoil or Schafer oils? We start up at neg 10f there plugged in but should I switch to a 5w-40?
I'm just looking at allot of cash to start putting cams & rollers in these low hr engines.
Thanks a million.
