Thanks

I use conventional Rotella in all my diesel engines.

Mine had 1072 hours on it when I got it .

I have notice that after the genset warms up to operating temp. the oil pressure goes for 40 psi to 20-22 psi. I am running Rotella 15w-40 engine oil and engine oil is up to the fill mark on dipstick. I understand it will drop in pressure if engine is brought down to idle but I would think it...

Thanks. Here's the problem I have been having is with gen set under a 40amp load it drops offline in about 2 minutes. I reset the ac circuit interrupter switch and it ran fine under same load for about 2 mins and it drops offline again. I tried this with a 20amp load and it run for about 8 mins...
