✦ Synopsis

CENTRIFUGE TO CLEAN DIESEL CRANKCASE OIL

Crankcase deposits can be formed in diesel engines if combustion products reach the sump due to piston blow-by and then mix with the lubrication oil. These sludges and emulsions can cause blocking of oilways and filters, and form deposits when they contact cold engine surfaces (eg push rods and rocker covers).
