Guess I didn't make myself clear. My mains are still running their break-in
oil at 48 hours. My genset, with 3 oil changes on it has 350 hours; this is
the oil sample I just had analyzed. I have GCF filters on all three engines.
My question was not about whether or not to analyze-I'm going to, to develop
a data base and to extend service intervals. I was just casting about to see
if a certain name came up more frequently than others.
Regards.
Larry
