[QUOTE="kjones, post: 350697, member: 4533"] So now I'm interested in what oil he was putting in those motors. I have worked in industrial lubrication for ten years up until last september. I also serviced a few pieces of equiptment as part of the job. I think it is highly unlikely that the dammage was caused by the oil. I was using the same oil in large diesel engines as in the pickup trucks and fork lifts. The supplier changed a few times over the years, but the viscosity stayed the same, 15w40 motor oil. All of these trucks were high milage trucks, that had been used very hard in the woods by timber crews. I think there may be something else as a cause, with three things breaking. If the oil was too thick there should be some sign of that in other places as well. Ask about the bearings on the mains and rods. [/QUOTE]
