Jerry, I cannot keep sending flowers. Point of concern when I suggest XYZ oil, oil sampling, etc
everyone has a different idea as how to address, when they feel like saving or spending money.
Over the years engine failure and component failure, starts with the oil. Lack of oil, over due
or extended service periods, wrong type of oil meant for job at hand. I have seen many failures
over the years and many were unnessary for whatever reason. I can only suggest my thoughts
on preventive maintance and the very high cost to maintain a motorhome. Seeing and knowing
what a Caterpillar engine and components cost ( life around 15,000 to 18,000 hours before
major rebuild, and most under extreme conditions ). All I'm doing is passing along thoughts
again on preventive maintance. Dave Atherton Retired Cat Mechanic
