Analysis update on Schaeffer's Mineral Moly Bond 15w40 . This is now the 3rd drain
I have some of Schaeffers Moly Bond mineral oil analysis and thought maybe this might draw some interesting points, especially when you're talking about extending drains with heavy extreme loads,with heavy acceleration and some idle time sitting in one place dependant on nothing more than air flow from the cooling fans unlike regular engines.
This is Schaeffers plain mineral and has no PAO base at all. That is the difference between the blend and this mineral and maybe a slight difference in the additives to offset what the pao offers.
This is one of Davids customers up in NC.
Linkbelt crane with a cummins 8.3 ltr engine.
Unit works in extremely dusty conditions.
Engine currently has 3,501hrs total engine time.
Oil drain intervals for this equipment is 250hrs
by the manufacture.
First drain had 341hr with recommended increase
to 415hrs
Second drain had 436hrs with recommended
increase to 510hrs.
3rd oil drain was done 10/03/02
I knew I forgot something... Moly Bond x200 15w40
