Parts for Detroit Diesel Series 60 14 Liter – Oil Pump Section

The Detroit Diesel Series 60 14-liter engine is one of the most renowned heavy-duty diesel engines in commercial, industrial, and marine applications. Known for its combination of electronic control, mechanical durability, and fuel efficiency, the Series 60 became a benchmark for reliability across the transportation and industrial sectors. Within this engine, the oil system plays a critical role in maintaining proper lubrication, temperature regulation, and hydraulic balance across moving components. This section details the most essential oil system components for the Series 60 14L engine, including oil pumps, coolers, gaskets, filters, sensors, and valves — all available through Diesel Pro Power, the trusted source for Detroit Diesel replacement parts worldwide.

Understanding the Series 60 14L Lubrication System

The lubrication system of the Detroit Diesel Series 60 14L is designed to ensure all internal moving parts receive an adequate supply of clean, pressurized oil. From crankshaft bearings to camshafts, turbochargers, and piston rings, lubrication is vital for reducing friction, cooling critical components, and preventing premature wear. The oil pump is the heart of this system, generating pressure that circulates the oil through filters, coolers, and galleries before returning it to the sump.

The 14-liter variant of the Series 60 engine, with its higher output and torque, requires consistent oil flow even under extreme loads or long operational hours. Maintaining this flow depends on a precisely functioning oil pump, oil cooler, and pressure control assembly—all of which are offered in this catalog section.

Oil Pump for Detroit Diesel Series 60 14L

The Detroit Diesel Oil Pump for Series 60 14 Liter engines is a high-precision, gear-driven assembly that draws oil from the sump and delivers it under pressure throughout the engine. It maintains consistent oil flow at all RPMs, ensuring that lubrication remains reliable even during high-demand operating conditions.

Key Features:

• Precision-machined housing for maximum efficiency and durability

• Designed for OEM-level performance and fit

• Compatible with both on-highway and marine 14L configurations

• Rebuilt and new options available with quality-assured inspection

Proper installation of the oil pump ensures balanced oil distribution, which prevents bearing wear and maintains smooth turbocharger operation. When replacing or servicing this component, always pair it with a new oil pump gasket to ensure leak-free sealing.

Oil Pump Gasket for Series 60

The Detroit Diesel Oil Pump Gasket forms the critical seal between the pump and the engine block, preventing oil leaks and maintaining internal pressure. A degraded gasket can lead to minor leaks that cause loss of pressure, reduced lubrication, and eventual engine wear.

Key Characteristics:

• Manufactured from oil-resistant materials for extended life

• Cut to exact Series 60 specifications for secure sealing

• Easy to install during routine oil pump maintenance

Regular inspection and timely replacement of the oil pump gasket are recommended during overhauls or whenever the oil pump is removed for service.

Elbow Valve Assembly for Series 60

The Elbow Valve Assembly on the Detroit Diesel Series 60 14L engine ensures proper routing of pressurized oil between system components. It connects oil lines while maintaining internal pressure and directing flow through critical lubrication passages.

Benefits:

• Maintains efficient oil flow to bearings and moving assemblies

• Prevents system over-pressurization

• Constructed from corrosion-resistant metal for durability

Replacing a worn or leaking elbow valve assembly helps sustain consistent oil flow and prevents minor pressure drops that can reduce engine longevity.

Oil Pressure Regulator Valve – Series 60

The Oil Pressure Regulator Valve acts as the control mechanism that maintains optimal oil pressure within the lubrication system. It opens to release excess pressure, protecting seals and bearings from potential damage.

Advantages of Replacement:

• Ensures stable pressure during varying RPM ranges

• Prevents oil foaming and pressure surges

• Restores OEM performance to aging lubrication systems

This valve is especially crucial in heavy-duty engines like the 14L Series 60, which operates under high loads and sustained stress. Regular inspection ensures reliable oil delivery and protection for internal components.

Oil Pan Gasket for Series 60

The Detroit Diesel Oil Pan Gasket provides a leak-proof seal between the oil pan and the engine block. Available in composite and black rubber designs, this gasket prevents oil seepage even during temperature fluctuations and vibration.

Highlights:

• Designed specifically for Series 60 14L contours

• Resistant to oil degradation and heat expansion

• Simplifies oil pan removal during maintenance or overhaul

Installing a high-quality oil pan gasket ensures that the lubrication system remains sealed from contaminants while preventing costly oil leaks.

Oil Relief Valve for Series 60

The Oil Relief Valve acts as a fail-safe for the lubrication system. It opens automatically when internal pressure exceeds a safe threshold, redirecting oil to prevent mechanical strain.

Key Benefits:

• Protects sensitive components from over-pressurization

• Ensures consistent lubrication under all load conditions

• Compatible with multiple Detroit Diesel engine families including Series 60

Replacing a worn relief valve restores system integrity and maintains reliable oil pressure, which is vital for high-mileage engines.

Oil Filter and Removal Tools

The Detroit Diesel Spin-On Oil Filter for the Series 60 engine captures impurities and contaminants before they can circulate through the lubrication system. Proper filtration extends engine life, reduces wear, and maintains stable oil pressure.

Product Highlights:

• High-capacity filter media for extended service intervals

• Durable steel canister construction

• Designed for fast, mess-free replacement

For servicing, the Oil Filter Removal Wrench is available for filters between 4-21/32” to 5-5/32”. This wrench ensures a secure grip, preventing damage to the filter or housing during removal.

Oil Cooler and Installation Kit

The Detroit Diesel Oil Cooler maintains optimal oil temperature, preventing thermal breakdown and sustaining oil viscosity. The Series 60 14L engine uses both 10-plate and 11-plate oil cooler variations depending on configuration.

Oil Cooler Benefits:

• Enhanced cooling efficiency for heavy-duty operations

• Corrosion-resistant plate construction

• Supports sustained oil pressure under load

The Oil Cooler Installation Kit provides all necessary seals and mounting hardware to replace or reinstall the oil cooler assembly. Using this kit ensures a proper, leak-free installation.

Dipstick and Filler Cap Assemblies

Accurate oil level monitoring is vital to lubrication health. The Detroit Diesel Dipstick provides a direct measurement of oil volume, ensuring the system operates within safe limits. Complementing this, the Oil Filler Caps—available in 1½", 1¾", and 2" diameters—secure the oil fill point and prevent contamination.

Features:

• Engineered for precise Series 60 fitment

• Resistant to vibration and high heat
