inside the engine oil collector (20). The engine oil pump extracts oil
from the engine oil collector. The engine oil is then sent through the
duct (16) to the engine oil cooler (19). The oil flows through the filter of
engine oil (18). The filtered oil then enters the oil supply pipe
of the turbocharger (13) and the main oil duct (8).

The main oil duct (8) distributes oil to the bearing supports (11), the
cooling nozzles for piston (4) and the camshaft bearing (6). Oil from
the main oil conduit comes out from the front of the block. The oil then enters
in the duct (10) that is molded in the front box.
The front box duct sends the oil flow in two directions. At the end
superior of the duct (10), the oil is directed back to the block and up to the duct of the
cylinder head (3). At the lower end of the duct (10), oil enters the duct
This duct will send oil to the bearing of the guide wheel of the oil pump in the
4-cylinder engine and 6-cylinder engines and the bearing for the front bearing

The oil from the main oil pipe is forced through ducts to the bearings.

Crankshaft oil ducts send oil from all the main bearings (11)

In the 4-cylinder engine, part of the oil that goes to the rear main bearing is directed

The ducts (5) send oil from the camshaft bearing (6) to a short duct of
oil (25) in the side caps. The oil then enters through a hole in the axles of the
push rod lifters to lubricate the roller bearings of the lifter.
The oil duct of the cylinder head (3) provides flow to the pipe of

Bypass Valve of the Pump and the Oil Filter
The oil pump bypass valve (21) limits the oil pressure coming in.
from the engine oil pump (22). The engine oil pump can pump more
oil from the necessary to the system. When there is more oil than necessary, the pressure of
oil increases. When the oil pressure increases, the bypass valve of the
Oil pump opens. This allows the unnecessary oil to return to the side.

all components. Immediate lubrication is essential when the cold oil with
high viscosity causes a restriction to the flow of oil through the oil cooler
of the engine (19) and the engine oil filter (18). The engine oil pump (22) sends
the cold oil through the bypass valves, around the oil cooler of

engine oil (19) or the engine oil filter (18). This design allows for it to
lubricate the engine even if the engine oil cooler or the oil filter are restricted
of the engine. The crankcase breather (24) allows engine gases to escape from the
Crankcase. The gas escape from the engine crankcase is discharged through hose (26)
to the atmosphere. This prevents an increase in pressure that could cause leaks in the
seals or in the packaging.
The oil pressure to the camshaft and the main bearings must be checked in
the oil duct plug (27). This plug is located on the left side of the
engine block.
Common questions
Powered by AIA restricted engine oil cooler or oil filter could lead to inadequate lubrication and overheating of engine components. However, the system's design allows for bypass valves to open under such conditions, ensuring that oil still flows to critical components, maintaining engine lubrication and preventing potential damage. This redundancy safeguards engine operation but might reduce oil filtration efficiency temporarily .
The bypass valve in the engine's lubrication system limits the oil pressure by redirecting excess oil back to the oil pump’s suction side when the pressure is too high. This is essential during cold start-up conditions because cold oil has high viscosity, which restricts its flow through the engine oil cooler and filter. By opening under these conditions, the bypass valve ensures immediate lubrication to all engine components, preventing damage from inadequate lubrication .
In a 4-cylinder engine, part of the oil that goes to the rear main bearing is directed outside the rear face of the engine block to the conduit at the crankshaft's seal carrier. This oil then goes through a duct in the engine block to support the compensating unit. In contrast, the 6-cylinder engine's design doesn't specify these separate pathways, suggesting a more direct oil flow to components .
The engine oil cooler plays a critical role in maintaining optimal engine temperatures by reducing the temperature of the oil. Integrated into the lubrication system, oil is pumped through the cooler via ducts following the oil being extracted from the collector by the oil pump. This cooler is especially significant during high-stress engine operations where excess heat could degrade oil properties. Bypass mechanisms ensure oil can skip the cooler if clogged, allowing continued flow .
The crankcase breather allows gases to escape from the crankcase, which prevents pressure buildup that could lead to seal leakage. By venting excess gases through a hose to the atmosphere, it protects seals and gaskets from potential blowouts while maintaining the integrity of the lubrication system's operations, ultimately contributing to long-term engine health .
Immediate lubrication in cold conditions is facilitated by the bypass valves (15 and 17), which open to allow oil to bypass the cooler and filter, delivering oil directly to essential areas like the turbocharger and main oil ducts. This ensures low viscous, cold oil doesn't hinder lubrication, allowing for immediate protection and operation of the engine's moving parts during startup .
Oil flows through the crankshaft's oil ducts, lubricating the main bearings and connecting rod bearings. This flow reduces friction and heat between metal surfaces, critical for durable engine performance. Connecting rods receive lubrication via this system, allowing for mobility and transfer of kinetic energy efficiently while reducing engine stress and potential for mechanical failure .
The main oil duct is crucial as it distributes oil to several key areas such as the bearing supports, the cooling nozzles for pistons, and the camshaft bearing. Oil from the main duct exits through front block outlets and enters a network of ducts, lubricating the crankshaft bearings and connecting rod bearings, cooling key engine parts as it circulates .
After completing its lubrication task, the oil flows back into the engine through designated return paths, including the oil ducts for push rod lifters and other components back to the oil collector. The system's design ensures that gravity and pressure direct the used oil to settle again at the bottom of the oil collector, ready for recirculation .
The correct functioning of the oil pump bypass valve is vital to control and maintain optimal oil pressure across the lubrication system. If the valve fails, excessive pressure could damage components or inadequate lubrication could lead to engine wear. Correct operation ensures excess oil is redirected, preventing lubrication errors and assuring engine reliability and efficiency .
