Front Crankshaft Oil Slinger
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Front 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 crankshaft and onto other engine components. This is achieved by fitting the oil slinger onto the front of the crankshaft, where it rotates with the engine. As the crankshaft spins, the oil slinger creates a barrier that deflects oil away from the crankshaft and towards the oil pump, where it can be circulated back through the engine. Without the Front Crankshaft Oil Slinger, oil would be free to splash around the engine compartment, potentially causing damage to other parts and reducing the overall efficiency of the engine. This small but essential part is therefore a key component in ensuring the smooth and reliable operation of a commercial truck's engine. If you notice any signs of wear or damage to your Front Crankshaft Oil Slinger, it is important to replace it as soon as possible to avoid any potential problems down the line.
