- VP of Engineering, Achates Power, located in San Diego, California
The Da Vinci DALOC system is an easy-to-use and powerful tool for performing engine oil consumption measurements. The sensitivity and accuracy of this instrument is outstanding providing unmatched diagnostic capability during engine development. The instrument is well packaged and leaves the impression of a mature product. It was therefore not surprising that the installation and commissioning of the instrument proceeded timely and without a hitch.
