Good customer of mine has an end dump trailer he pulls to haul material to his concrete plant. He uses it everyday but once the outside temperature gets below 40 degrees F it blows oil out of the vent cap on the tank when he lets the bed down. It's got a tank mounted right behind the cab and it does have a baffle over the return line to deaden the spray coming back in the tank when the cylinder is returning.
The oil never really heats up because he dumps a load then it's a 2 hour round trip before he gets back with another load when the PTO is engaged for 30 seconds then shut back off for another 2 hrs.
I suggested a thinner oil. Any other ideas?
