It is SAE 20W50 Above 30°–100° designed to offer Proven Performance® and reliability. Specifications 7 5 for both the 3 ⁄16" and 3 ⁄8" bore engines are found in this manual. We SAE 50 Above 60°–100° have covered the most popular configurations, 74ci, 80ci, 93ci, 93ci SAE 25W60 Above 80° high compression, and 103ci, based on their original S&S production SAE 60 Above 80° designs. Some changes may have been made over time as these engines have been in production for a number of years. The specifications in OIL RECOMMENDATIONS this manual are based on the most recent production specifications. S&S recommends synthetic engine oil such as S&S Premium Synthetic 20W50. However a premium petroleum based engine oil such as S&S ENGINE INSTALLATION The procedure for installing an S&S engine is basically the same as Heavy Duty 20W50 or 25W60 is acceptable. outlined in the factory service manual for the model of motorcycle the S&S recommends using S&S oil, as it has been designed specifically for engine is being installed in. However S&S engines are sometimes taller our engines. S&S motor oil has higher concentrations of anti-wear and then a stock engine so the installer must check to make sure there is corrosion additives along with high quality base stock oils that work adequate clearance between the engine and all chassis components well in the high load and high temperature environment. Optimum include the frame and fuel tanks. An upgraded clutch should also be oil temperatures are between 180–230°F if temperatures exceed considered, since the S&S engine will produce more power than the 250°F on a regular basis the addition of an oil cooler is recommended. stock engine it is replacing.

It has been a few years since the publication of the first edition of Spectro Scientific’s In-Service Oil Analysis Handbook. Our original goal was to compile a comprehensive reference book of common in-service oil analysis techniques to help readers understand and choose the right technique and instrumentation for their needs. We had to limit the scope in the first two editions because of the amount of effort needed to cover all the topics. In-service oil analysis for condition based maintenance covers a wide array of topics. I am pleased to say that in this third edition, we are much closer to our goal. We reorganized the structure of the content for better clarity and we added articles to cover more topics and instruments associated with oil analysis. Also, we rewrote several articles including the latest developments on the market. As we learned more from our customers about their successes using on site oil analysis, we developed case studies that you can find in this edition. This work is not possible without the time and effort from the contributing authors: Patrick Henning, Daniel Walsh, Robert Yurko, Ken Caldwell, Thomas Barraclough, Maria Bartus, Randi Price, John Morgan, Aifeng Shi and Yuegang Zhao from Spectro Scientific and Ray Garvey from Emerson Process Management.

  • Super-D® 3 Diesel Engine Oil 15W-40
    Super-D® 3 Diesel Engine Oil 15W-40 Premium Universal Fleet Kendall® Super-D 3 Diesel Engine Oil, SAE 15W-40, is a premium quality universal fleet engine oil designed for use in on-highway diesel trucks and off-highway Engine Oil diesel equipment, as well as in passenger cars and light trucks with either diesel or gasoline engines. It is recommended for use both in EGR-equipped diesel engines and in older, non-EGR diesel engines. It also will provide excellent protection for gasoline engines for use in mixed commercial fleets. Super-D 3 SAE 15W-40 is formulated with advanced additive technology to provide outstanding wear protection, soot control and bearing corrosion protection. Outstanding soot dispersancy protects against abrasive wear and soot-induced oil thickening, and ensures good low-temperature pumpability even with soot-laden oil. High dispersancy-detergency and a high alkaline reserve (TBN) provide extra protection in extended drain or severe service intervals, and in EGR-equipped engines. Super-D 3 SAE 15W-40 meets or exceeds the performance requirements of API Service Categories CI-4 and SL, API CI-4 PLUS, and leading OEM specifications and worldwide standards for diesel engine oils. It is backward serviceable for use where API CH-4 or earlier “C” category engine oils, or the concurrent earlier OEM specifications, are specified. Applications • On-highway diesel trucks equipped with cooled-EGR, ACERT or other technologies to meet 2004 and earlier exhaust emission standards • Older diesel equipment with conventional, non-EGR engines • Mixed fleets with both diesel and gasoline-fueled vehicles • Off-highway construction, earth moving and mining equipment • Farm equipment with diesel or gasoline engines Super-D 3 SAE 15W-40 is licensed or OEM-certified for: • API Service CI-4 with CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4, SL • Cummins CES 20078 • Detroit Diesel DFS 93K214 • Mack EO-N Premium Plus 03 • Mercedes-Benz Sheet 228.3 • Renault VI RLD-2 • Volvo VDS-3 KendallMotorOil.com U.S.

In view of this I would like to share some knowledge onhow we can save cost in maintaining our vehicle, and I believe that this relevant information must be known by every Filipino specially those who own a vehicle. One of the regular maintenance we perform on our vehicle is changing oil, and many of us are unaware of synthetic lubricants. In fact it is estimated that only a handful of Filipinos knows the value of synthetic oil in their vehicle since most of us use the conventional petroleum or mineral oil that is available in our local gasoline stations . It is my intention that every Filipino must be educated on the benefits and advantages of using synthetic oil in their vehicle.

    AIRCRAFT ENGINES SERVICE INSTRUCTION SELECTION OF MOTOR OIL AND GENERAL OPERATING TIPS FOR ROTAX® ENGINES TYPE 912 AND 914 (SERIES) SI-18-1997 R5 Repeating symbols: Please, pay attention to the following symbols throughout this document emphasizing particular information. ▲ WARNING: Identifies an instruction, which if not followed, may cause serious injury or even death. ■ CAUTION: Denotes an instruction which if not followed, may severely damage the engine or could lead to suspension of warranty. ◆ NOTE: Information useful for better handling. 1) Planning information 1.1) Engines affected All versions of the engine type: - 912 (Series) - 914 (Series) 1.2) Concurrent ASB/SB/SI and SL none 1.3) Reason - Due to field experience the recommended engine oil list (section 3.2 and section 3.3) was updated. - Field experience has shown that additional information about the choice of suitable motor oils and oil change and maintenance intervals for the ROTAX engines Type 912 and 914 is necessary. Regardless of which brand of fuel is used, foreign particles are suspended in the motor oil. Heavy accumulation of particles on high temperature zones such as on piston rings, exhaust valve guides, may result in stuck piston rings and valves due to burning and coking of the oil. On turbocharged engine, failing to ensure an adequate cool-down period prior to shut-off may lead to particle deposits on the turbocharger wheels. This could result in an unbalance of the turbo wheel and consequently to a complete destruction of the turbocharger. Particle deposits or cooking may become loose in the engine and may block the lubrication system causing damage to the engine due to lack of oil.

  • Jennings: Two-Stroke Tuner's Handbook
    Two-Stroke TUNER’S HANDBOOK By Gordon Jennings Illustrations by the author Copyright © 1973 by Gordon Jennings Compiled for reprint © 2007 by Ken i PREFACE Many years have passed since Gordon Jennings first published this manual. Its 2007 and although there have been huge technological changes the basics are still the basics. There is a huge interest in vintage snowmobiles and their “simple” two stroke power plants of yesteryear. There is a wealth of knowledge contained in this manual. Let’s journey back to 1973 and read the book that was the two stroke bible of that era. Decades have passed since I hung around with John and Jim. John and I worked for the same corporation and I found a 500 triple Kawasaki for him at a reasonable price. He converted it into a drag bike, modified the engine completely and added mikuni carbs and tuned pipes. John borrowed Jim’s copy of the ‘Two Stoke Tuner’s Handbook” and used it and tips from “Fast by Gast” to create one fast bike. John kept his 500 until he retired and moved to the coast in 2005. The whereabouts of Wild Jim, his 750 Kawasaki drag bike and the only copy of ‘Two Stoke Tuner’s Handbook” that I have ever seen is a complete mystery. I recently acquired a 1980 Polaris TXL and am digging into the inner workings of the engine. I wanted a copy of this manual but wasn’t willing to wait for a copy to show up on EBay. Happily, a search of the internet finally hit on a Word version of the manual.
