Have a library in my office. Westinghouse steam turbine and gas turbines. GE steam turbine and gas turbines, GE MarkV operation, GE oil and hydraulic systems. Emerson operation system, Aquatech operation system. 12 books on water chemistry. State and Fed regulations. Emission controls. ASE books. Car books. Reloading manuals. Books from my welding and machinal engineering classes.

I knew it - giving ya a rough time.
BTW - did you guys use Siemens or Compressor Controls or Johnson Controls or other?

I know. You like to stir the pot every now and then.
All turbine controls were GE Mark VI. Other parts of the plant. Called Balance of Plant were Emerson Detla V. Then for the water treatment. That was Graver. Demineralization water treatment was Aquatech. (I used to work for them in the mid '80's for a little while. Building the systems.) There was 44 different systems at the plant.

My dealer said to just bring in the filter and oil. All they would charge is labor. Save few bucks

That’s exactly what I wouldn’t do. You understand that 99% of dealerships use the least trained “techs” that they have for lube work right? There ain’t no way I’d let them touch my rig. I buy Mopar filters and the Quakerstate oil and do it myself.

Yes I'm aware of that.

Toilet paper filter system is the best.

Doesn't starting a new thread about oil and filters count as a temp ban?

Didn't take long for the hornets to swarm this piece of meat!!

I bet a search would show at least half a dozen "what's the best......" with multiple pages and always the same results. (yup - 2 pages worth, discounting for duplicate results, looks like at least 6 threads a mix of gas and diesel engines.
The result appears to be: whatever the person answering uses is obviously the best oil.

WHAT THE OWNERS MANUAL SPECIFIES.. Why do you think anyone not the engineers that built, tested, and approved an oil would be better?

If that information is clear to me, I was referring to the brand of oil since there are several which would be the best

Me too. It's all nice and good until the toilet paper starts to fall apart.
