This was mainly from the port with earth moving machines on a 560km trip climbing 1800m on very good roads.
The new filter now lasts till the 10000km service interval.
We then blow it out and use it another 2 times before replacing.
Did the exhaust and the filter at the same time so not sure if the filter played a role in dropping the top end temp.
I think with this type of work it would be a good idea to ad a Pyrometer so you can tell when things are getting to hot. -

guys i wonder why there is no more oil air filter
which use oil to clean air
is that related to ecology i mean probably some oil left inside air and when it burn....
this was one of greatest things need to exchange oil every 5 years -
i will try to find picture latter now i am going to bar -
all SCR truck got pyro sensor, but no gauge. ECM just stores hot exaust codes and limits power

We had them in the old Mercedes V10 engines(1632) about 30 years ago...Mercedes then moved to paper type air filters in the early 1980's....A German factory engineer told me at the time,the reason was for fuel economy....and also turbocharged engines require a much larger volume of air compared to naturally aspirated.
We built stationary mulching machines in the 1990's which operated in very dusty conditions and we used oil bath cleaners on naturally aspirated Merc engines. They used to clog every few days due to the dust,which you could spot by the engine getting very smokey,but never gave any bother once you power washed them clean and scrapped the gunk from the bowl resevoir. -
