Some airplanes have a magnetic oil drain plug with two electrical probes
connected to a light. When the light goes on that means enough metal got stuck
on there to complete the circuit and then you get to stare at the light until
you land

Hi All,
In a previous life I had to do oil samples on heavy equipment and aircraft
engines (both piston and turbine). Some of these pieces of equipment or
aircraft would run 24/7 so oil samples were taken weekly…(every 100 hours is a
common number

Tom,
Did you get a test pump? You'll want one.

Of course you also need the sample bottle.

You shouldn't feel ashamed. The problem with oil analysis is that you get
out of the habit of changing the oil once a year and then you can't
remember when the last I you did it. I was just joking with Len that I

Regarding sitting - after winte
Regarding sitting - after winterizing the engine will sit until spring. I doubt
that is really such a big deal although yes these things don’t like to sit.
The boat sat for 2 years before we bought it and the engine has run well
without issues or leaky seals or anything since (had to replace a
I put between 100 and 150 hours on our engine each year. But this year has
been almost 0. However, I do go down and at least once a month decompress
and run the starter until the low oil pressure alarm clears. This works
the rings, makes sure that oil gets pumped to the bearings and splashed on
Something to ponder:
The Ford Lehman diesels used in many trawlers last 10-20 thousand hours in
commercial service. There are plenty of trawlers for sale with engines having
been replaced at half or a quarter of that number. Just sitting is not good for
engines.

Close, Rick. Really close.
I looked at the data from my Suburban. 150,750 miles and 4494 engine
hours. That's 33.5 mph average.
As for Touche', I figure <5.5 nm/engine hour. Just a guess.

I’m not sure about a boat engine, because marine service is generally more
subject to problems from bad fuel, overheating, filters that don’t get changed
regularly, long periods of none use, being operated too cold or at too low an
RPM (resulting in carbon buildup) and so on.

Bill,
I've heard people quote 25,000 hours between rebuilds for engines similar
to ours in fleet service. That's basically taxis and work skiffs. They
start 'em at the beginning of the day and don't shut them down except for
fuel or to go home. They also run more or less full load most of the d
