Hello All,
First of all I would like to say I enjoyed looking through your website having just signed up, I could not find this topic on your site, so I hope you can point me in the right direction if this has already been thrashed out?, Thank you
A bit of history: I am a 70+ Marine Engineer still working mainly on Marine Diesels up to 2,000 hp. I have recently been asked to look at and service the 3.0 lt. V6 Diesel which are currently being used in late Range Rover & Jaguar vehicles, these engines all have DPF and associated emission specs.
I am concerned about the varying degree of Diesel Fuel Oil Dilution that I am seeing in the used Oil sample results, I believe it is a consequence of the DPF regeneration and the current engine management to meet emission standards?, I have been trying to wrestle with this whole concept of a late Diesel Fuel Injection on the exhaust stroke to meet this criteria?.
I believe the above eng. management coupled with the long service intervals being touted by the different manufactures including Castrol - in regards to the recommended Castrol Edge Professional C1 - 5w-30 for these V6 Diesels, is not helping with engine longevity?, I would appreciate any thoughts on this matter, Thank you
