LUBE OIL IS REQUIRED FOR PROPER COOLING AND REDUCING WEAR DUE TO FRICTION. LUBE OIL IS NORMALLY CONSUMED BY SOME LITRES ON A DAILY BASIS. IT’S CONSUMPTION SHOULD BE MONITORED DAILY AND A RECORD MUST BE KEPT. AN INCREASE IN THE LUBE OIL CONSUMPTION SHOULD BE DEALT IMMEDIATELY.
THE REASONS FOR LUBE OIL LEVEL GOING DOWN ARE AS FOLLOWS:-
- THE PURIFIER IS OVERFLOWING.
- THE SUCTION VALVE TO LUBE OIL TRANSFER PUMP IS LEAKING.
- L.O COOLER LEAKING.
- L.O LEAKING FROM L.O CONNECTION TO FUEL PUMP.
- SUMP DOORS ARE LEAKING.
- L.O LEAKING FROM CYLINDER HEAD.
- L.O LEAKING FROM FUEL VALVE NOZZLE COOLING LINE TO THE FUEL OIL OVERFLOW TANK.
- L.O BURNING IN CYLINDER DUE TO WORN OUT PISTON RING.
- OIL LEAKING FROM L.O PUMP FLANGE AND PIPE CONNECTION.
