A little off topic but a few years ago when I worked for a Danish shipping company we ran an experiment with Lubrizol testing a new type of cylinder oil in our slow speed engines. We calibrated all of our liners and fitted all new piston rings then built a new cylinder lubrication system for units 1-4 to run on the Lubrizol oil and units 5-9 on the original cylinder oil. I never did hear the results as it was going to be run over a year - 18 months and I'd moved on to a different ship by then.
Sounds like an interesting job!
