The oil pump is driven directly from the crankshaft. The oil pump (1) draws the lubricating oil from the oil sump (2) and
pumps it to the oil module (A). The lubricating oil flows past the thermostat (3) and directly to the oil filter (7) or goes via the
oil cooler (6). From here, the lubricating oil goes to the main lubricating oil channel (9) in the cylinder block. From the main
lubricating oil channel, the lubricating oil is further distributed to the various components requiring lubrication.
A centrifugal filter (5) may be included parallel to the lubrication system.
A pressure-limiting valve (4) is installed in the lubrication system after the pump. When the pressure set for the pressure-
limiting valve has been reached, the valve opens and any excess lubricating oil is discharged to the sump.
The lubricating oil is cleaned in the oil filter (7).
From the main lubricating oil channel (9), lubricating oil is supplied to the crankshaft main bearings (10) and, via an oil
channel in the crankshaft, to the big-end bearings (11).
Lubricating oil is led from the main lubricating oil channel to the camshaft bearings (15).
From the camshaft bearings, a lubricating oil channel runs through the cylinder heads to the rocker seat (16).
From the main lubricating oil channel, the lubricating oil goes to the bored hub of the compressor gear (11). From the
bored hub, the lubricating oil reaches the compressor gear. From the compressor gear, the lubricating oil is supplied to the
other gears.
The pistons and the upper big-end bearings are lubricated with oil nozzles (14) that are connected to the main lubricating
oil channel (9). In addition to its lubricating function, the lubricating oil has an important cooling function.
A bore at the top of the connecting rod makes sure that the lubricating oil sprayed against the piston head by the
lubricating oil nozzles can reach the upper big-end bearing.
A lubricating oil channel running from the main lubricating oil channel is connected to the lubricating oil pipes leading to the
VTG (12).
The lubricating oil discharge pipes from the VTG are connected to a channel in the cylinder block, from where the oil
returns to the sump.
A lubricating oil channel running from the main lubricating oil channel is connected to the oil pipe that is connected to the
EGR valve (19). This oil is used to operate this EGR valve. The lubricating oil discharge pipe from the EGR valve is
connected to a channel in the cylinder block, from where the oil returns to the sump.
A lubricating oil channel running from the main lubricating oil channel is connected to the oil separator (20); the oil that
flows through this channel is used to drive the oil separator. The return oil of the oil separator flows via a channel in the
block back to the oil sump.
The oil-pressure-regulating valve (18) regulates the pressure in the oil circuit of the engine.
