A lubricating oil composition for use in an internal combustion engine operated with a fuel having a sulphur content of less than 50 ppm, that contains a minor amount of at least one metal-containing detergent, which lubricating oil composition, when formulated for use in a diesel engine has a total ash content of less than 1. The system includes a switch and a node in communication with the switch. A flexible and relatively inelastic elastic border extends along a peripheral edge of the along a forward edge of the fabric. A controller is coupled to the thickness detector, is operable to prevent a motor from driving cutter elements in a shredding direction responsive to the detector detecting that the detectable portion has been moved by the amount that correlates to the predetermined maximum thickness, and is configured to vary the predetermined maximum thickness based on receiving an input parameter. The instrument is then detached from the device.
