366 180 01 43 Housing Oil Nozzle for Mercedes-Benz

What does a housing oil nozzle do?

This critical engine component is essential for the thermal management of heavy commercial vehicle engines. By spraying pressurized oil onto the underside of the piston skirt, it effectively carries heat away from the combustion chamber, preventing overheating and ensuring long-term engine durability.

Compatibility with Mercedes-Benz engines

This part is designed to be compatible with Mercedes-Benz engines. It functions as a vital part of the lubrication system, working alongside the oil pump and main gallery to provide targeted cooling and lubrication to the piston pin and connecting rod bushings.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For correct installation, technicians should verify the connection style—whether it be a bolted flange, banjo connection, or threaded body—against the existing component. It is vital to match the spray tube angle and check valve opening pressure to ensure the oil reaches the piston base correctly and maintains gallery pressure at idle.

Selection and troubleshooting

To avoid potential issues like oil leakage or improper spray patterns, always verify that the component matches the specific engine code of the vehicle. Using high-strength components ensures reliable performance under heavy load conditions.
