OK, is anybody else sitting there wondering: what do you DO with 850HP natural 
gas engines with 43 gallon sumps?

With about 1/10th of that HP

Three years ago my boss sent me to the University mechanical engineering
library to research any and all information on oils and additives.  At the
time we were trying to extend the oil change intervals on some 850HP natural
gas engines we run.   ...  it's not even practical on our 43 GALLON sumps!!    
We currently run 2,000 hours between changes with straight 40
weight oil.
