I don't know about the RR's, but I DO know that we almost NEVER replace th oil in our power plant. We have several dual fuel diesels and we have etensive oil filtration equipment, plus we have our oil tested regularly. When the numbers are off we "freshen" the oil by adding a pack of additives such as detergents and stuff. <br /> <br />Our oil is basically plain old SAE30. Cost is about #2 a quart. The last time we changed oil on a unit the oil was +20 years old. <br /> <br />The largest enging is a 10,000 HP Enterprise. Impresses the snot out of visitors when it's running. <br /> <br />Mark in Utah
