FYI Interesting discussion regarding engine oil pans and oil changes/cooling

Banks has been a treasure trove of technical info on Diesel engines.

This video is another interesting bit of info

I was impressed with Banks when I purchased their Power Pack package for my 460 F53, 20 years ago.
No unnecessary bending, hammering or going to the hardware store for the correct nuts or bolts.
Every thing fit perfectly. The muffler did fail last year at a cost of $300.00 but the additional HP and torque makes the ol 460 a real pleasure to drive. And the deep roar of the exhaust is nice.

Wow! Banks marketing geeks are very good at fear mongering to convince people to buy their products.
Is that bit of oil at the bottom going kill that engine at 100,00k miles? At 500,000k miles? Absolutely not. You will NEVER see any ill-effects from it in the life of your engine.
This one is much like their totally unnecessary grid heater delete kit for Cummins engines.
