A Brief History of events

The Komatsu truck fleet are operating under a maintenance service contract fully managed by Komatsu Australia Limited, including oil sampling utilizing their own oil lab, the engines are supplied and managed through MTU-Detroit Australia.
Dingo were approached by Customer to also manage the oil samples for the engines only, on the Komatsu truck fleet in August 2005.
During the first five months of this engine being fitted it had a known problem of coolant entering the engine oil, and was subject to numerous diagnostic efforts by MTU-Detroit and Komatsu, including pressuring the coolant system, boroscopes, black light and dye tests etc.
By the time Dingo and Oil Test had started analyzing the results it was deemed that all possible diagnostic efforts had been exhausted.

The engine oil had been trending quite smoothly, with only some slight rises and falls in contaminants and wear metals.
On the 18th November 2005 sodium had spiked from 8ppm to 489ppm, indicating coolant entry into the engine oil, all other predictors were within limits.
A priority 1 work order was raised by Dingo, stand machine down immediately, and a detailed standard job was issued relating to the diagnostics steps needed.
The machine was immediately shut down and was floated to the work shop, where the diagnostics began.
