The ongoing struggle in
the automotive industry for higher power
to weight ratios, increased fuel economy
and the necessity to comply with onerous
emission regulations, highlights the need
for the engine lubricating package to work
harder than ever before. As engine manufacturers
endeavor to produce ‘sealed for life’ engines,
MANN+HUMMEL is keen to demonstrate that it
centrifugal oil cleaners can play a vital
role in achieving these goals.
In September 1998, Land
Rover announced the release of their new
4x4 Discovery with an improved diesel engine
design. With MANN+HUMMEL centrifugal oil
cleaners fitted as a standard equipment,
Land Rover has been able to increase their
oil drain interval from 10,000 km to 20,000
km (6,000 miles to 12,000 miles).
MANN+HUMMEL has now developed
a retrofit option that not only offers outstanding
centrifugal performance, but which has also
been designed for applications where space
limitations are a concern.
By providing fleet companies
with necessary support required to retrofit
the MANN+HUMMEL centrifugal oil cleaners,
these companies will be able to boast lower
cost of ownership while maintaining engine
performance throughout the engine’s
lifecycle.
