As this condition gets worse, you’ll see white clouds of smoke from the exhaust pipe. At first, you may notice just a loss of coolant with no leak. For example, on the Ford Power Stroke 6.0L Turbocharged Diesel you don’t even know there is a problem, just a slow coolant loss. Which seems to be a common problem on most diesel engines. Unfortunately, this system deals with extremely high temperatures which fatigue the metal components causing cracks. This system uses engine coolant to reduce the exhaust gas temperature entering the intake. How does an EGR Cooler work? The exhaust gasses are directed through the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System Cooler to remove heat before the exhaust gasses arrive at the EGR valve. That is why the diesel engine requires an EGR Cooler, needing to cool the recirculation of the exhaust gasses to maintain an acceptable operating temperature while complying with federal emissions standards. This also is it’s weakness, due to the amount of heat the engine as to deal with. The diesel engine has the highest thermal efficiency of any combustion engine using this method of heat along with a high compression ratio for better efficiency. Using this style of internal combustion has its advantages and disadvantages. After three filter changes, replacement can be done once a year.The diesel engine uses a compression-ignition system, meaning that it uses the heat of compression to initiate a spark-ignition to burn the air-fuel mixture. We recommend replacement of the first filter at 500 miles and replacement of the second and third filters after 3,000 miles each. The filter boss includes 2 threaded inlet ports and 1 outlet port. This Sinister Diesel Coolant Filter and Oil Filter Kit includes all mounts and fittings needed for installation and is machined from 6061 billet aluminum. With the Sinister Diesel Coolant Filter and Oil Filter Kit for the 2003-2007 6.0L Ford Powerstroke, you can be sure your both of these critical systems are operating at maximum efficiency. Whether your engine has been freshly rebuilt or has racked up hundreds of thousands of miles, contaminants like casting sand leftover from the manufacturing process, metal shavings, rust, mineral deposits floating in the coolant, or oil sludge are all but guaranteed and without treatment can spell disaster.

When these fluids are contaminated it can cause premature wear on engine and turbocharger bearings or even engine failure from a lack of lubrication or overheating due to a constriction within the fluid passages inside the block and engine components like your EGR Cooler. Oil and coolant are the life blood of your 6.0L Powerstroke engine and must be kept clean to ensure proper engine operation, lubrication, and even heat transfer.

The EGR cooler and head gaskets want impurity free coolant to avoid failure.

The HEUI system demands clean, consistent oil delivery in order to save the injectors. The key to keeping your 6.0 on the road and trouble free is clean fluids.
