<p>[QUOTE="Rideandrepair, post: 10815753, member: 168603"]Everyone swore by Shell Rotella on the Cats. When mine started using more oil, I tried Mobil for a couple changes. Some claimed it would slow oil consumption. It’s hard to say. Typically the oil pressures pretty high. I forget exactly, maybe 60. Higher on average than my Detroit’s. The other thing to watch is the Damper. They will go bad, and wobble. At an idle, it’s easily seen. Water pumps that seep from the weephole. Cat never really fixed that. Instead they put a piece of spongy plastic type plug in the hole. It just sits in there. You can pull it out with a pair of needle nose. After many claims of fixing the problem. Occasional minor seeping is considered normal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
