Cat 3208TA (non ATAAC) ratings
Oil analysis is a good thing, keeps an eye on the head gaskets. I'm of the
opinion that by the time analysis shows excess metal, it's too late. It's a better strategy to physically check the bearings at 100/125k miles. It's an easy job compared to dealing with a bearing failure. MH ----- Original Message ----- From: dspithaler@...
