Been noticing a sheen from the wet exhaust of the generator. Oil level doesn't seem to be affected. Figured it might have something to do with the injectors as unfortunately we don't load it as much as we should. I try to load it up to 80% for several hours every 40 hours or so and that seems to...

Been awhile since I did a UOA on these motors. Parker 3420 with twin 350's filled with Yamalube 10w-30. I usually service at 100 hours but, the boat was headed down to NC from Maryland for some work offshore so I did a full service before the trip. Next service I will be switching to a 10w-40...

Have been wanting to try a different oil on this thing. But, with the Delo being so cheap and working well I tend to lean to the side of " If it aint broke don't fix it". Pretty excited for it to hit 200K here soon.

Hey folks, Decided to try a different oil to combat the low viscosity that I was having with the Yamalube 10w-30. Went with West Marine 4 stroke 10w-40 this time. Unfortunately, I don't think the large amount of idling we do helps these motors, but its the nature of our work. Never noticed a...

Hi folks, Received the results from my latest analysis and almost forgot to post it up. Few months ago, I had the timing belt strip its teeth and take out all 8 exhaust valves. Threw in a full set of Supertech stainless valves and stem seals and lots of assembly lube used. Can't wait to break...

Hello all, Decided to do an analysis on the genset for my workboat. Its a Northern Lights M673L3 6KW powered by a Shibaura 3 cylinder mechanical injection diesel, heat exchanger cooled. The manufactuer recommends a 200hr oil service interval which has been followed since new. Unit has a little...

Decided to do an analysis on our workboat. Its a Parker 3420 XLD with twin Yam F350s. The work that we do involves a lot of idle time and low rpm cruising, I would estimate about half of the OCI hours are idling, but, when we do cruise I like to run it wide open. Boat gets about 250 hours a year...

First time trying Delo after having been using T6 for quite a while in this car.

I don't think I have much to worry about here.

Hi folks, Was pretty skeptical of the 10K factory OCI recommendation when my father bought this Corolla. Did this analysis to actually see how it was doing. Looks like I have nothing to worry about.

Hi Folks, First time doing a 7500 OCI on this motor. Did end up finding an intake boot that was loose after this analysis, hopefully that brings the silicon down.
