Bought a 359 Peterbilt with a Detroit 8v92. Did I get a good deal?

I stand corrected then, I have changed engine oil. In a number of old trucks that that same type of canister for a Luberfiner oil filter.

 

I was not going to get too involved in that secondary oil can.

Some of the older Iron carried a small box in which you made sure you kept oil in. Either behind the cab next to the Exhaust or on the right of engine block inside steer frame. Legions of Instructors in those days hit me on the head with the clipboard to pound in the lesson, thy shalt fill this small can of oil.

###### if I know what the can is ever for.

No wonder I aint learned anything. =)

 

Sorta, I have seen oil in the power steering of older stuff. Fact is it's still in mine. Those power steering tanks like that are pretty #### rare, sorta valuable. 9 outta 10 trucks have a lubefiner engine oil filter there. In a tank that looks real similar. It was the answer at the time to help with soot. Just to share info on trucks with a brake saver dont use it to stop then get within a foot of the lubefiner, they get bad hot. I will say Cummins and CAT trucks were more prone to the lubefiner can versa the power steering

 

My experience with Luberfiner began on a 1970 Pete that, if memory serves, had the square box on the passenger side for the air filter system, and the Luberfiner on the driver's side.

It had a 318 (8V71).
