As did Fiats, Renaults, and Simcas in the '60s and 70's. It was in the
crank pulley. They did not have oil filters. You pulled the cover from the
crank pulley and dug out the compressed sludge.

For the most part large displacement stationary diesels have nothing more than
banks of large spin on or cartridge type filters, much like you would find on
your car engine. They're just larger and often in multiples in order to provide
a larger filter area for the much larger oil volume.
Some
It is my understanding that BIG Diesels have additional filtering that
removes soot from the oil but these soot filters are not cost-effective for
our little automotive Diesels. Obviously, a worn Diesel will allow a lot
more soot to get in the oil so maybe sampling would allow extended change
