Q: Can the OTC 3365 be used on diesel engines?
A: No, the 3365 is designed for gasoline internal combustion engines with traditional timing marks and advance systems. Diesel engines generally do not have mechanical timing advance in the same way, so compatibility is not assured.
Q: What signals or advance types can the 3365 detect?
A: It can measure centrifugal advance, vacuum advance, and computer-controlled advance; this lets you check distributor behavior, vacuum advance performance, or ECU timing modes.
Q: What durability features make the OTC 3365 suitable for shop use?
A: The tool has a plated ABS housing with over-molded grips, heat-resistant battery clips, removable leads with positive twist-lock connectors, and it includes a blow-molded case to protect it from shop conditions.
