Another querkie difference between EMD/GE 4 strokes and EMD 2 strokes is that on a 4 stroke engine you change the lube oil every 45 days and the 2 strokes burn so much oil that you just keep adding until they are due for a filter change. The average EMD 645 will burn about 30 to 50 gallons of oil to 3500 gallons of fuel. The only time they get their oil changed is when they get all of the power assemblies changed or a main bearing change <br /> [;)][:D][8D] <br /> <br />sorry Ed I forgot about you. PTRA's big Cats get their oil changed too[:D]
