Summary:An oil cleaning device of an engine oil circuit has a centrifuge that removes particles from oil. The centrifuge has a centrifuge housing with an inlet for the oil to be cleaned and a drain for the cleaned oil. The centrifuge housing has a housing cup and a housing cover detachably connected to the housing cup. A rotor is rotatably arranged inside the centrifuge housing. The housing cover, in a mounted state of the centrifuge, closes off a bottom end of the housing cup. The drain extends through a circumferential wall of the housing cup and has a drain opening provided in a radial inner circumferential side of the circumferential wall. The drain opening has a lower boundary at the radial inner circumferential side. The housing cover has a topside with a radial outer rim arranged at the level of or above the lower boundary of the drain opening.
