Description
Oil is drawn from the reservoir in the oil pan and pressurized by the oil pump. The output from the oil pump is then filtered and distributed through the internal oil passages. All moving parts are lubricated either by pressure or splash oil. Pressurized oil is also provided for operation of the variable valve timing units and the timing gear chain tensioners. With the exception of the pump and the oil level gauge (dip stick), all of the oil system components are installed on the structural sump. Oil is returned to the oil pan under gravity through large drain holes in the cylinder heads and the engine block to make sure quick return of the oil.
The plastic molded oil pickup is attached to the underside of the structural sump. It is immersed in the oil reservoir to provides a supply to the oil pump during all normal vehicle attitudes. A castellated inlet allows the supply to be maintained after any deformation of the sump pan (e.g. after grounding). A mesh screen in the inlet prevents debris from entering the oil system.
Installed at the right front of the structural sump, the oil pressure switch connects a ground input to the instrument cluster when oil pressure is present. This switch operates at a pressure of 2.2-5.9 psi (0.15-0.41 BAR). For oil circuit identification, refer to illustration. see scheme 202
