8V92 Two Stroke & Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
About October of last year, the Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel topic was
addressed here on the forums. The concern was the oil the 8V92 two
stroke engine needs when the low sulfur diesel fuel hits the market
which is now to I believe September of this year. I called my contact at
Detroit Diesel to find out if any changes in oil requirements have been
determined by Detroit. He assures me that the API Service (or
Classification) CF-2, SAE Viscosity Grade 40 is the oil for the two
stroke 8V92.

The documentation I received from Detroit shows the oil drain interval
at 10,000 miles. My Bluebook states 20,000/yearly. I've been changing
oil at about 8K.
