You mean they recommended the bigger one? ....I guess I had assumed you bought a NOS one somewhere at a good price and were gonna go with it even though it's a bit big. I've talked to Spinner tech support several times (agreed - very helpful) including before I put the 36SE on my deuce, and...

I completely agree. I read a bulletin, probably on T.F. Hudgins site, that touted the benefits of the paper liners but said that if you choose not to use them it helps to have a recirculating solvent tank to clean the bowl. ....

The price difference is negligible between the two units, so there's no reason not to go with the bigger one.... But if I found a good deal on the 1gpm model I wouldn't hesitate to put it on a 5-ton. It will still filter all the engine's oil several times over every hour. Maybe if you drove...

I finally cleaned the Spinner II's centrifuge bowl at 3,500 miles since installation on my deuce.... The engine oil had become a dark amber, kinda maple syrup-like. I should have taken a picture but there was only a 1/8" thick layer of sludge on the inside walls. It had the consistency of very...

Low oil pressure at idle is normal.... 5-7 psi when hot, but at highway speed a healthy 92 series should be at 50 psi (that's the relief valve setting unless it's been modified). My 71 series runs at 60 psi. The Spinner has an "idle cut-out valve" so you won't starve your engine for oil at...

How often the Spinner needs to be cleaned depends on how "dirty" your engine gets... Some engines put more soot into the oil than others, then there's age and driving habits, etc. I haven't cleaned my Spinner yet, but I'm going to when I change the oil before the West Coast Convoy to Tower Park...

I don't think vibrations or off road driving will affect it, due to the gyroscopic effect... Jarring would try to slow down the spinning, but I don't think it would make any difference in performance. Spinner's tech support was very helpful to me, you could ask them to make sure. The Spinner...

There are a number of OTR truckers, sponsored by Spinner I'm pretty sure, who have gone several hunderd thousand miles with only oil analysis, topping off, Spinner cleanings, and full-flow filter replacement. So far, I'm very enthusiastic about mine! Jon

Awesome! Did you get your Spinner installation done yet? I've been too busy lately and hadn't logged on in a few months. Personally I don't think the bigger model 960/96SE will be a problem.... 1 gpm or 2 gpm, both are only a small percentage of the oil pump's capacity, and with the automatic...

No, there's no noticeable decrease in pressure, my truck is the same as before - 70 psi cold and at speed, 30 psi hot idle. The Spinner II unit only flows 1 gpm at 60 psi. Below 20 psi, the unit automatically shuts down, so at hot idle there is no worry about lack of oil pressure. The...

Interesting, Bjorn... Your unused dipstick port is plugged with a square drive plug. Mine was an Allen type, and it rounded out when I tried to remove it... I had originally intended to use that and not drill the pan.

Hi Group, I finally finished installing the Spinner II and had a chance to do a test drive... It definitely works, when I shut down the engine I can hear the centrifuge spin down. It sounds like a big electric motor slowing down. I'll update this thread when I have some idea of how well the...

I talked to T.F. Hudgins / Spinner II Tech Support about which model for the Multifuel, and they recommended the Model 36 SE (same as the newer Model 936, both are 1gpm @ 60psi). For a bigger engine like the Cummins in the 5-tons or my Detroit Diesel 6-71N, you would use the bigger Model 960...

Hi Group, I finally got one! A Spinner II Oil Cleaning Centrifuge... This is a bypass oil filter, which uses the engine's oil pressure to spin a centrifuge at up to 8,000 rpm to clean the oil. It processes 1 gallon per minute at 60 psi. It will remove particles smaller than .01 micron...
