Special Bulletin! 09/08/09 Is the Oil Pressure in your Turbo Engine TOO LOW?? |
Engines that are turbo charged absorb a hefty percentage of the oil to lubricate the turbo. I have seen some that will not maintain 30 to 35 psi at max rpm after warm up. Delo 100 is also available in 50 WT. It will give a tired engine some more compression and bring up the Oil Pressure. The heavier viscosity oil will boost the oil pressure and at the same time it could increase your compression in turn helping the engine run cooler and possibly smoke a little less. This is not as good as an overhaul by any means, but It is a way to extend the life of an old engine, especially if you do not have the big bucks it takes today to overhaul. I stumbled on to this talking to a West Coast operator who indicated he had been using it for years and he was getting it from an Authorized Genuine Detroit Dealer. I have not attempted to purchase it through the Dealers, but did find some locally at an independent oil distributor. NOTE 1: If your engine is maintaining 60 psi at 70 mph and 15 to 20 psi at idle with a warmed up engine, you do not need this weight oil! NOTE 2: If you have a non turbo engine that has low oil pressure this will also work in it. |
