CAUTION

Due to the desludging effect of the diluted oil. engine

operation should be observed closely during the mitial
warm up of the engine. Engines that have accumulated a
considerable amount of operational bouts since their last
dilution period may be seriously affected by the dilution
process. This is caused by the diluted oil dislodging
sludge and carbon deposits within the engine. This
residue will collect in the oil sump and possibly clog the
screened inlet to the oil pump. Small deposits may enter
the oil pump and be trapped by the pressure oil filter
screen. Partial or. in some cases. complete loss of engine

lubrication may result from either condition. If these

conditions are anticipated after oil dilution. the engine
should be operated for several minutes at normal operat-
ing temperatures and then stopped and inspected for
evidence of sludge and carbon deposits in the oil sump
and oil filter screen. Future occurrence of this condition
can be prevented by diluting the oil prior to each oil

change. This will prevent the build-up accumulation of

the sludge and carbon deposits within the engine.

11-so. DUSTY CONDITIONS. Dust inducted into the intake system of tbs engine is probably the
greatest single cause of early engine wear. When operating under high dust conditions. the
induction air filter should be serrriced daily as outlined in Section 2.

SEACOAST AND HtTMID AREAS. In salt water areas. special cars should be taken to keep
engine and accessories clean to prevent oddotion. In humid areas, fuel and oil should be
the
checked frequently and drained of condensed moisture.
