Crankshaft Oil Slinger
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Crankshaft Oil Slinger, also known as the Oil Deflector, is a small but important part of a commercial truck's engine. Its primary function is to prevent oil from splashing out of the engine's crankcase and onto other engine components. The Oil Slinger is mounted on the crankshaft and rotates with it, creating a barrier that deflects oil away from the crankshaft and towards the engine's oil pump. This helps to ensure that the engine is properly lubricated and that oil is distributed evenly throughout the engine. Without the Oil Slinger, oil could potentially leak out of the engine and cause damage to other parts, leading to costly repairs and downtime for the truck. In addition to its primary function, the Crankshaft Oil Slinger also helps to reduce engine noise and vibration. As the Oil Slinger rotates with the crankshaft, it helps to smooth out the engine's operation by reducing the amount of oil that is splashed around inside the engine. This can help to improve the overall performance of the engine and make for a smoother, more comfortable ride for the driver. Overall, the Crankshaft Oil Slinger is a small but important part of a commercial truck's engine that plays a critical role in keeping the engine running smoothly and preventing costly damage.
