I have been using full synthetic oil and noticed that the last 500 miles burned less oil than the previous. I have two John Deer backhoes that were burning a gallon every 40 hours and now burn less than 1/4 gallon in the same time.
I found two 3208's, one is just across the road and only has 60,000 miles. The truck is totaled with rear damage, front is fine. Saw the truck a thousand times but never looked at the engine till last week.
With that found were going to enjoy the Newell until we deem the 1160 needs replaced. We may get lucky and the engine may repair itselfe. Not likely but possible. As busy as we are we're just going to have fun for now.
