I have a Cummins B series 3.3 litre engine that been sitting around for about 4 years and now i am looking at using it in a pump application for a short period of time, it has high blow by. Can you please  recomment an oil viscosity and an additive to use before we can replace this unit.

Hi Dave

Our best info for the Engine Cummins B3.3 is that originally it required an oil meeting Global DHD-1 SAE 15W-40. This would normally suggested DFX but if the engine has high blow-by a thicker oil should be tried HPRD 15 - http://www.penriteoil.com.au/products/hpr-diesel-15-15w-50-semi-syn - in the first instance.

Cheers
