In the immortal words of Gretta hronberg "how dare you".
I thought the 905cc and 1005cc Kubota were unkillable.
I think there's a new sheriff in town when it comes to unkillable diesel engines. That's a thousand more hours than my highest hour oil change Kubota and that Kubota was running poorly, ran rough and couldn't hold half it's rated load.
This 3,400hr mq generator with 3,400hrs on the oil still runs great, it smokes a little running a 5kw load. It's a 25kw rated generator that will run 20kw all day no problem.
I'm working on an adaptor plug to put more of a load on them.
Oil: whatever they fill them with at MQ power, plus some saftykleen to replace what oil had been consumed during normal operating.
Oil filter: whatever Isuzu puts on their new engines.
Fuel: I don't think it was running ULSD.
It has 5 holes in the filter plate.
The oil was super black I flushed it with used synthetic hydraulic fluid for a few minutes. Got it hot, dumped the oil, filled with second hand easter/PAO hydro, ran it for a few minutes after it had cooled off. Left it over night, ran it again long enough for the engine to get the engine warm to the touch, dumped the hydraulic fluid and took off the filter with a chain visegrip. After 5 years that oil filter was really on there.
Visegrips are my vice.
Can you see all those beautiful sludge flecks?
I've got the filter wrapped in paper towels and wicking away as much oil as possible.
It also had the original air filter, coming soon in the air filter forum. It's caked.
