I have run a 3116 over 25000 miles with 50 percent used motor oil with no problems. I mix it with diesel and then filter it to 5 microns. The only thing is it smokes a little getting up to speed and starts hard when it is cold out. I can not tell the differnce in the heat of the summer. This is a ideal engine for a fuel mix becauce it does not have any electonics and uses a supply pump.
And you are talking about the M35A3's CAT3116 engine, right?

since you are in FL, can you be a little more specific about 'cold out'?

well ****, even with only 1200 miles on it, my A3's 3116 starts hard when it's cold out with the ULSD crap that they call pump diesel up here, so mixing 50/50 sounds pretty dang good
