What kind of oil does a C-15 ACERT use?
The motor is a C-15 ACERT with 370,000 miles on it running Schaeffer’s 9000 5W40 for the past 240,000 miles and a Spinner 2 bypass filter for the last 40,000. All my oil samples (for the last 240,000) have shown normal results except for a few with high iron because of IVA related issue.
What’s the actuator valve on a C15 do?
Under normal driving conditions the motor works in an efficiency mode with 1500 ft/lb trq. Then when needed the cam timing changes and the trq is increased to 1850 trq. Thats why the valves sound noisier at times and quiet (er) other times.
What does the IVA do on a C15?
The IVA does not have enough power to overcome the initial seat pressure of the valve springs. It does however have enough staying power to hold the valve open during the start of the compression stroke letting some of the intake charge to flow back into the intake and “pre heat” it for better combustion.
