Doncha just love these oil-related threads? Look. All things being equal, more filtration is not a bad thing. But I'm here to tell you that I just retired my 1989 Mazda with a 2.2 liter turbocharged engine, with 300,000 miles on it. I retired it for electrical reasons, not mechanical. It was still running fine and pulling full boost. The engine was never opened up except for scheduled timing belt changes at 60K. Original turbo.
Oil was changed at 3K intervals with dino oil. My point is that if you have a good basic design and perform maintenance as recommended by the manufacturer, your engine should last. Oh yeah, MTUPower guy - the loose translation of MTU is not "Mercedes Turbine Union" - it's "Motor and Turbine Union". Disclaimer. I work for a diesel engine manufacturer. Not MTU. 10,000 HP is a small to mid size machine for us! And we use them for plenty of generators, not just ships! Rgds, Chris W. '95 E300D |

Didn't mean to wear DT out- but don't like being called son when the man would have to be a father at 9 years old to be my dad over something I believe I'm correct on. Heard the producer of a ESPN fishing show I was working on say "it's not my show, it's not your show- it's THE show" It's not my idea, it's not your idea- it's THE idea. I don't (as others perhaps do) get emotional or feel slighted over inanimate objects. Sorry DT.... now will someone start a thread about the correct tranny fluid to use in winter or something? :p |

Before you do the Frantz.... Take a look at what th eCumminsd guys run. Amsoil makes a sweet kit. I don't feel like running additional oil lines and such on my NA 606, but if I had a turbo, I would have setup one of the AMSoil kits in a heartbeat. http://www.amsoil.com/bypassfilters/2001dodge_cummins/ Toilet paper is for my A$$, not my MB diesel kitten

Using their picture of how it works, I'd worry about reduced oil pressure for the bearings and such.
