Oil Pump Lincoln LS I facelift

Oil Pump

The rotary spur oil pump develops the oil pressure.

  1. The oil pump is bolted to the front of the cylinder block.
  2. The oil pump is rotated by the crankshaft.
  3. A full flow oil filter is externally mounted on the upper sump.

If the filter element becomes blocked, a spring-loaded bypass valve opens to allow uninterrupted flow of oil to the engine.
