BASE GP-OIL FILTER 1761363 - Caterpillar

Today's marine user is concerned with performance, cost of operation and satisfactory engine life. Traditionally, vessel performance has been directly related to the propulsion engine, when in fact the engine is only one of numerous factors influencing the propulsion system.To verify the condition of the propulsion system, Caterpillar has developed the Marine Engine Performance Analysis Report (PAR) program. Marine engine PAR is an in-vessel test procedure, performed and evaluated by Caterpillar certified Marine Analysts under normal or bollard operating conditions, comparing the performance of all marine engine systems to original factory test cell specifications.When Marine Engine PAR testing is conducted at sea trial, it can assure you of a quality installation, confirming that the hull, rudders, propeller, marine gear, ventillation and cooling systems are all properly matched for optimum performance and fuel efficiency.Caterpillar additionally recommends regularly scheduled (refer to the Preventive Maintenance Schedule) Marine Engine PAR analyses to maintain optimum performance. Periodic PAR analyses can define propulsion system deterioration and aid in fine tuning these maintenance, repair and overhaul schedules, which will provide the most economical and efficient cost of operation.
