Yes the sodium is the salt used in the food that's deep fried. I'm going to try a Shell T6 15W40 for one run and see how the wear metals compare. The argument is only run straight 40w that's CF2 rated, low ash of 1% or less and shear stable. Only aluminum is in the blower, pistons are steel with a tin coating.Assuming the salt the result of restaurants using that in the oil? I forget but why not run a multi grade like 5w-40? You have an interesting setup.
You already rebuilt it so live with the results.
No Al in that engine? Pistons?
I have a second Silver 4-53T that's been rebuilt and dyno tested. It will be running Shell Rotella T6 15W40 and compared to this engine.MacFries oil...Yes the sodium is the salt used in the food that's deep fried.

Thanks, I sure will.MacFries oil...
I think a multi grade is definitely worth a try. I certainly think it gets cold enough up north for it?
I don't think you need to worry about low ash either since no emissions on it? I'm a Rotella fan but I think if you want slightly more Zn and P Mobil has the Turbo Diesel CK-4 but you already know that. I'm really interested in what the results will be and keep us posted. What are the plan for the rebuilt 4-53T?
The new 4-53T has 26hrs dyno testing large injectors to get to 300HP. I have around 10 more hours of testing to do and should get to 280-290HP and 720-750 ftlbs of torque. I'm at 282HP and 715 ftlbs now. When dyno testing is finished it's going into my 1948 Diamond T truck I'm building.Thanks, I'll certainly do some research on the topic.
