Re: oil leak
I am sure I didn't spill any during the oil change, also I noticed the leak after over a week from the last time I added oil it looks like engine oil but not sure yet, I just put paper-towels under to see the actual color of the leak, it drips very slowly, about 1 drop every coupe of hours681Views0likes0Comments- 270Views0likes0Comments
oil leak
Hello Everyone… I have a 2003 Ford F-53 RV Two months ago I did an oil change, the recommended amount was 6 quarts, but most forums recommend adding 5 quarts fits then check the level and add as needed. So I added 5 quarts but got busy and forgot about checking the level and adding more till 2 weeks ago, so I checked the level and added about ¾ of quart… few days ago I noticed an oil leak, I got under the RV and saw the leak was forming around the AC compressor belt, is that normal after oil change? Does that mean I overfilled it? Could it be different type of leak? Or is it a sign of something more serious? Take into consideration I have not drove or moved the RV, I have been hooked up for the last 5 months6.6KViews0likes20CommentsRe: best way to test house batteries ?
So I disconnected the shore power and turned off the house battery switch, I waited an hour then tested the batteries, and the measurements were as follows: the voltage ( using a millimeter was 12.83 , and when I used the hydrometer, every cell in the first battery tested 1.3 and every cell in the second parallel battery was 12.65 , are these too high? Is it possible to be because of overcharging?488Views0likes0Commentsbest way to test house batteries ?
Hello Everyone… I have a 2003 Ford F-53 RV What’s the most accurate way to test house batteries using multimeter and hydrometer? Disconnect from shore power then keep few lights on inside the RV to give a bit of load? Do I have to disconnect the 2 batteries from each other and test each one separately? or no need to disconnect anything ? I appreciate any suggestions…5.3KViews0likes19Comments
