oil bypass centrifuge spinner 2 installation tutorial dd13 dd15

Yes. Air line required. Spinner is effective. I recommend it. It has worked fine. D60 should not be that much different.

 

Your mechanic is honest. There is variation to oil pressure. When driving off highway with clutch engaged pressure drops to 15 psi. When starting the truck cold psi is 67 psi. When oil is up to temperature of around 140 pressure reduces to 55 psi.

To your point, pressure never drops less than 15 psi that is 15 psi per square inch which translates to 15 psi around the oil trajectory inside the engine. In conclusion, there is enough and sufficient oil delivery.

Also, oil pressure sensor is located on the driver side towards the front and the spinner is horizontally opposite to it's location, so that is another indication that the 15 psi also applied to the oil filter location. Again, 15 psi is strong pressure.

The oil cartridge on this type of engine. Seems with less soot or carbon when extracted during an oil change.

This is my very own opinion, but I believe that just oil is not enough. The bulk oil we purchase is loaded with detergents and chemicals making it thinner in consistency. There is no water in it because oil and water does not bond together, but there are solvents that will bond. Therefore, I use Chevron because it has quality. I have witnessed how a Cummins which has the tendency to burn oil will slow down it's oil burning with Chevron. I use Lucas, in a moderate manner, because the container reads 100 percent petroleum.

Others may say Lucas is bad because it blocks the oil pipes...etc. In a moderate manner will not and that is one gallon to half a gallon.

I also have an oil sample analysis with the spinner for 14k miles of hard driving. It reads that the engine is doing fine with a slight or minimal reduction in some metals. I could post it here if you would like to take a look, but has to be next week.

Oil spinner stop spinning. Reasons unknown, but it is suspected that the air selenoid "clutch", which is located at air tubbing connect became damaged due to oil vapors with particles saturating its area. Rather than replacing the selenoid, a dual oil filter mount was mounted instead.

 

Hi Thomas. I am now reading your post on march the sixth. You could purchase the dual base at www.amsoil.com and the filters are from NAPA heavy truck. About the spinner, please find one that spins only by oil pressure that doesn't require an air inlet. The air valve will get oil vapors buildup and clogg it eventually rendering kind of pointless because it needs to be dismounted and disassembled in order to replace the one air valve.

Good luck!
