Oil cooler
The engine oil temperature is maintained at a relatively
low level by the oil cooler which ensures less wear and
retention of the oil’s lubricating properties.
Replacement of switchable oil filters with engine running
Lubricating oil filters
The oil filters filter contaminants from the oil. The filter
elements are made of folded filter paper.
One filter is of the partial flow bype which means that
less of the oil passes through the filter. Since the flow
through the filter is lower the filter can separate more
small particles from the oil.
The two full-flow oil filters filter all oil before it is passed
on to the lubrication system.
The oil filter insert and housing are one unit and cannot
be disasssembled. When it is replaced the complete
unit must be replaced. The old filter cannot be reused
and must be scrapped.
On classifiable engines there is a filter mounting which
allows the full-flow filters to be replaced while the en-
gine is running. With the fuel flow turned off to one of
the filters at a time the full-flow filters can be replaced
while the engine is running.
