Fuel dilution has reduced oil thickness resulting in wear of the bearing and journal.
Kittiwake supply a range of Viscometers for fuel oil viscosity testing.

Diesel Engine Oil Viscosity
The most usual diesel engine oil viscosity grades are SAE 30 and SAE 40 monograde oils or their multigrade equivalents (used in automotive type engines).
A lower viscosity grade may be used to assist in engine starting at low ambient temperatures as it will allow a higher cranking speed for a given starting system power.
