Lubrication system
The lubrication system distributes and circulates engine oil to
all areas of the engine to ensure smooth engine operation.
During engine operation, all parts subject to friction are
lubricated to form an oil film that minimizes direct metal
wear.
The purpose of lubrication is to circulate lubricant to all
parts subject to wear, cool some of the heat generated by
frictional heat and combustion using oil, and wash away fine
metal powder generated due to wear using oil. Lubrication
systems come in three types depending on their lubrication
method: "splash lubricating systems," "force-feed
systems," and "combination splash force-feed
systems."
