A customer of ours complained that his Cat 3304 engine was not running as he expected it to. An oil sample was taken and submitted to a laboratory that we use and the following report was sent to us. If anyone has any input or comments, I shall reply with my 2c worth. Many thanks guys.Analysis Report
