0120373218 – MTU2000 Oil Control Ring

0120373218 – MTU2000 Oil Control Ring Attributes:

0120373218 is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) oil control ring designed by MTU Friedrichshafen for its 2000 series diesel engines. It is mainly used to control engine oil consumption, ensure the sealing performance between the piston and the cylinder wall, and scrape off excess oil on the cylinder wall to maintain efficient combustion.

Basic Information of the Part:

Applicable Models: MTU 2000 series engines, including models such as 12V2000G63, 16V2000G23, 20V2000G63, etc.

Functional Positioning: As a core component of the piston ring set, the oil control ring reduces the amount of engine oil entering the combustion chamber through its precise oil scraping design, thereby reducing emissions, improving fuel economy, and extending engine life.

Maintenance and Replacement Recommendations:

 Replacement Cycle:

1, It is usually replaced along with the engine overhaul cycle (e.g., every 10,000 hours or when the cumulative operating mileage reaches the design life). For details, please refer to the official MTU maintenance manual.

2, If abnormal increase in oil consumption, blue smoke from the exhaust pipe, or power drop is found, the wear condition of the oil control ring should be checked in a timely manner.

Installation Requirements:

1, Special tools are required for installation to ensure that the end gap of the oil control ring meets MTU technical specifications (usually 0.20-0.40mm).

2, Before installation, the piston ring groove must be cleaned to avoid impurities affecting the sealing performance.
