Description

This engine component is essential for maintaining the thermal stability of the piston crown by spraying pressurized oil onto the underside of the piston. By directing oil spray precisely, it helps carry heat away from the combustion chamber and into the sump, which is vital for preventing piston ring sticking and managing thermal loads in high-performance diesel engines.

This specific part is designed for use in Mercedes-Benz engines. It ensures that oil reaches the piston pin and connecting rod small-end bushing to reduce friction during operation. Proper selection of this nozzle is critical to ensure the spray angle aligns perfectly with the piston base rather than the cylinder liner wall.

When replacing this component, technicians should verify the connection style—whether it is a bolted flange, banjo-connected, or threaded body—to ensure a proper seal. It is highly recommended to match the new part with the existing engine code and original specifications to prevent pressure drops in the main oil gallery or incorrect spray patterns.

Consult your authorized distributor.

FAQ

What is the function of a housing oil nozzle?
It sprays pressurized oil onto the underside of the piston to cool the piston crown and lubricate the piston pin, preventing overheating during heavy operation.
Can I choose a nozzle based solely on visual appearance?
No. Even visually similar jets can have different tube angles or valve pressures. Always verify using the engine code and original specifications to ensure correct spray patterns.
What happens if an incorrect nozzle is installed?
An incorrect nozzle can cause oil to hit the cylinder liner instead of the piston base, leading to insufficient cooling, pressure drops, or potential block damage.
Which vehicles use this type of oil nozzle?
These components are designed for heavy commercial vehicle engines, including various Mercedes-Benz models requiring precise piston cooling.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
0101 035 directly replaces Mercedes-Benz OE number 0001403268.
