The Engine Oil System

The lubricating oil system is primarily used to lubricate wear surfaces to minimize friction losses, to cool internal engine parts such as pistons, bearings and shafts which cannot be directly cooled by the engines’ water cooling system and it cleans the engine by flushing away wear particles amongst others.

The oil pump forces the engine oil through the passages in the engine to properly distribute oil to different engine components. In a common oiling system, oil is drawn out of the oil sump/oil pan, through a wire mesh strainer that removes some of the larger pieces of debris from the oil. The flow made by the oil pump allows the oil to be distributed around the engine. In this system, oil flows through an oil filter and sometimes an oil cooler, before going through the engine's oil passages and being dispersed to lubricate pistons, rings, springs, valve stems, and more

The system consist of the tanks (settling, sump and head), oil pump, strainers, oil cooler, piping, valves, and fittings, oil filter, sub system and condition monitoring devices amongst others.

There are indicator lights which are “on" when the engine oil pressure is low. Electric analog and electronic digital gauges are used to indicate the oil pressure. A dipstick is used to measure the oil level in the oil pan, while in some vehicles oil change indicator lights are used to identify the quality of oil.

Failing to properly lubricate an engine will result in engine failure. Adequate lubrications require lubricant (oil) with sufficient film strength to withstand bearing pressure and viscosity index low enough to allow adequate flow when subjected to heat.
