Oil System Components for the Cummins 4BT Engine
The Cummins 4BT engine is widely known for its durability, simplicity, and longevity. To keep your 4BT running at its best, one of the most critical systems to maintain is the engine’s lubrication system—centered around a properly functioning oil pump, high-performance oil cooler, durable gaskets, and a reliable oil filter. At Diesel Pro Power, we offer a complete lineup of Cummins 4BT oil system components that meet or exceed OEM performance standards.
Our oil pumps, gaskets, filters, and accessories are specifically designed for the Cummins 4BT platform, not generic aftermarket fits. With more than 40,000 satisfied customers worldwide, Diesel Pro Power is the trusted choice for parts that last.
Cummins 4BT Oil Pumps – Rear vs. Front Gear Train Applications
The 4BT’s oil pump plays a vital role in maintaining oil pressure throughout the engine, ensuring that vital components like crankshafts, camshafts, pistons, and turbochargers receive the lubrication they need for safe and efficient operation. Not all 4BT oil pumps are the same—gear train location is the primary differentiating factor.
For Cummins 4BT engines with a rear gear train, we offer an oil pump with 23/24 helical gear teeth. Helical gears are engineered for smoother, quieter operation and excellent oil flow stability under load. This oil pump is built for reliability in tough operating environments, such as marine propulsion or industrial machinery.
Key Compatibility:
-
Rear gear train configuration
-
CPL Numbers: 8239, 2377, 1525, 8039, 2109, 2264, 2246, 2302, 2351, 1967, 1268, 741, 594, 1965
Product Highlights:
-
23/24 helix teeth for quieter, more efficient operation
-
Heavy-duty construction for long life
-
Exact fit for rear gear train 4BT engines
For Cummins 4BT engines equipped with a front gear train, a different oil pump is required. This version uses 22/24 straight-cut gear teeth for direct, rugged power transmission. These pumps are perfect for engines requiring straightforward installation and high-flow performance.
Key Compatibility:
-
Front gear train configuration
-
CPL Numbers: 0742, 8206
Product Highlights:
-
22/24 straight gear teeth for robust performance
-
Specifically engineered for front gear 4BT configurations
-
Long-lasting, OEM-quality construction
Oil Cooler for Cummins 4BT
High engine temperatures can degrade oil quickly, leading to premature wear and engine failure. That’s why the Cummins 4BT oil cooler is essential, especially in marine and industrial environments where load demands and heat buildup are constant.
Our 5-plate oil cooler for the Cummins 4BT efficiently dissipates heat from the circulating oil, extending the life of your engine and ensuring steady oil viscosity and pressure under heavy operating conditions.
Features:
-
Durable 5-plate configuration for effective cooling
-
Direct bolt-on fit for 4BT engines
-
Protects oil integrity during continuous high-load operation
-
Ideal for marine engines and stationary power units
Gaskets for the Cummins 4BT Oil System
Every time you service or replace an oil system component, it’s essential to install fresh gaskets to ensure leak-free operation. Diesel Pro Power stocks all of the primary Cummins 4BT oil system gaskets for maintenance, rebuilds, and upgrades.
A fresh oil pan gasket provides a tight, lasting seal to prevent leaks at the base of the 4BT engine block. Built from oil- and heat-resistant materials, our gasket is ideal for complete rebuilds or simple maintenance jobs.
The oil cooler core gasket creates a vital seal between the oil cooler and the block, preventing oil and coolant from mixing—a serious concern in marine or industrial 4BT engines where both systems work under pressure.
Designed to seal the connection between the oil filter head and the engine block, this gasket is vital for maintaining consistent oil pressure and preventing bypass leaks. Proper sealing ensures your oil filter does its job without obstruction.
Cummins 4BT Oil Filter
No oil system is complete without a high-efficiency filter. The Cummins 4BT oil filter we carry is a spin-on design that captures contaminants while maintaining optimal flow rates and pressure. This is crucial for maintaining clean oil and extending the life of internal engine components.
Oil Filter Specs:
-
Outside Diameter: 3.66"
-
Height: 5.35"
-
Thread Size: 1-16 UN
-
Designed for high-durability spin-on application
Benefits:
-
Captures sludge, carbon, and metal shavings
-
Maintains steady oil pressure and flow
-
Easy installation for 4BT owners and techs
Oil Filter Removal Tool for Cummins 4BT
Removing a stuck oil filter on a 4BT engine can be frustrating—especially in tight compartments like marine engine bays. Diesel Pro Power offers a precision oil filter wrench that fits diameters from 4-21/32 inches to 5-5/32 inches, making it perfect for Cummins 4BT spin-on filters.
Key Features:
-
Heavy-duty grip for stubborn filters
-
Designed for Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and Caterpillar filters
-
Prevents damage to filter housing during removal
Zinc Anode for 4BT Oil Coolers (Marine Use)
If you're running a marine version of the Cummins 4BT, protecting your cooling and oil systems from corrosion is essential. We offer zinc anodes designed to fit into the oil cooler or fuel cooler system to guard against galvanic corrosion in saltwater environments.
Specs:
-
Brass Plug: NPT 3/8"
-
Zinc Length: 1 inch
-
Compatible with most 4BT marine oil coolers
Oil Pressure Switches for Cummins 4BT
Monitoring oil pressure in real time is critical—especially in high-risk applications like marine engines or industrial gensets. Diesel Pro Power stocks a full range of oil pressure switches for the Cummins 4BT, including models with make/break settings at 5, 10, 20, and 27 PSI.
Available Configurations:
-
5 PSI Make/Break
-
10 PSI Make/Break
-
20 PSI Make/Break
-
27 PSI Make/Break
All switches are built to OEM pressure sensitivity standards with 1/8" NPT threading for easy installation on Cummins 4BT blocks.
Oil Pressure Gauges for Cummins 4BT
To complement your oil pressure switch, you may want a mechanical or electrical gauge to visually monitor pressure from the cockpit or control panel. We carry:
-
Standard mechanical oil pressure gauges
-
Mechanical gauges with alarms
-
Electrical gauges (12V and 24V)
These gauges are essential for marine or stationary setups where quick response to pressure drops can prevent costly damage.
