Looks like that might depend on OBD II data. Is that available on some/most/all of our diesel engine vehicles?

[family wagon]

OBDII is on almost none of our buses I'll wager. The cutaway van style perhaps yes, but the kind built on a medium duty truck chassis are more likely to use J1587, J1939, etc instead of OBDII.

my bus is pre OBDII as a 93, but that is a very cool app!!

I wish my bus had gauges like that.

i got my oil analysis back from Blackstone... also a cool service.

I am going to check the intake tract for leaks. Plan a visual and perhaps a vac. gauge at the filter minder location? Don't know what numbers I'm looking for, maybe someone has an idea?

Bob the oil guy says 10-30 ppm is ok for Chromium and Silicon.

Hmmmm...

all you can do is test again next time.

i sent a sample in from my daily driver as well as the bus and it was very high in iron.

How much does an oil analysis cost?

i just found something real cool!!!!

down load cummins' app for your smart phone and enter in your engine serial number.

it has the parts catalog, filter numbers, dataplate.... everything you need for your cummins.



of course finding the dam engine serial number was a whole nother matter
