The D16G600 comes with a Crank Case Ventilation (Closed) system. The blow-by gases in the valve cover are returned to the turbocharger through a centrifuge oil separator. The oil mist is separated in a centrifuge, which does not require maintenance or filter replacement. Thanks to gas recirculation, this system allows an extremely clean and low-emission engine to be obtained.
