Lubricating system, description

The lube oil system is a forced-feed circulation system with lube oil cooler and lube oil filter arranged in a
full flow circuit.

The lube oil pump is a rotary pump integrated with the front cover. The inner rotor is seated on and driven
by a crankshaft drive.
A pressure regulating valve is mounted in the cylinder block. Lubricating oil is delivered by the oil pump
through the oil cooler to the oil filter and on to the main oil gallery.
Oil exiting the oil cooler is regulated by the pressure regulating valve before entering the oil filter or main
gallery.
The oil filter is mounted on the oil cooler housing, which is located on the engine block's right side. From
the filter, the oil flows into the main distribution channel that supplies oil to the engine's crankshaft,
camshaft, and rocker arms via tappets and push rods, as well as the turbocharger.
The engine is also equipped with piston cooling nozzles that spray oil on the pistons' undersides to
maintain a stable operating temperature.
