Lubrication System

Lubrication System - Gen 5 DD15 - Ops - #7628

The lubrication system of a Detroit™ Gen 5 Heavy Duty engine consists of an oil coolant module, oil filter, oil cooler, oil pan, oil pump, oil suction manifold, oil pressure regulator valve, oil thermostat, and oil pressure sensor. Clean, pressurized oil is fed to all components via passages in the engine block and cylinder head.

Always use lubricating oils and oil filters that meet Detroit™ specifications. The use of lubricating oils and/or oil filters that do not meet Detroit™ specifications may result in premature wear or engine failure. Consult with an authorized Detroit™ service outlet to obtain the proper engine oil filter. For additional information on selecting lubricating oil, Synthetic Oils and Additives.
