Engine Lubrication System

Before going on details about lubrication system, you have understand first what is it and why you have to give priority to your engine’s lubrication system. Basically, your engine’s lubrication system supplies lube oil to all moving parts including crankshaft, connecting rod, and piston and so on. May be you are thinking about its working principle. Just read the following principle to understand it clearly. 

Probably, you have already got a bit idea about lube oil pump. When you start your car, this pump aids to pick up lube oil from the oil sump, and then delivers it through the oil filter to all rotating parts of your car’s engine. It sends lube oil to main bearings that supports your engine’s crankshaft. After passing main bearings lube oil passes through oil holes to bearings of the connecting rod. Then, the lube oil is thrown off the rotating parts.

That is not all about lubrication system. Most interesting matter is that the lube oil passes through oil gallery to the cylinder head at the same time. Then, lube oil passes through valve-train parts and camshaft bearings. After passing through all these rotating parts lube oil is drawn back to the oil pan.
