3.5 gph at 7.8 knots. 1500 rpm.
I see I put 1500 hrs in OP instead of rpm
Approx 24,000 gal burned
I'm assuming that’s for both engines. So about 370 gallons for that engine in 210 hours. That's a good amount fuel consumed for an oil interval. I like to figure oil changes as a calculation of gallons of diesel consumed per gallon of engine oil in the sump.
