ENGINE OILING
ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
NOTE: Engine contains a high-pressure oiling system and a low-pressure oiling

system.
High-Pressure Oiling System
High-pressure oiling system supplies oil pressure for fuel injector operation. See Fig. 9. During initial start or
cold start, gear-driven high-pressure oil pump receives unfiltered engine oil from driver-side valve lifter oil
galley through anti-drain check ball. Once engine starts or during warm engine starts, anti-drain check ball
closes and high-pressure oil pump receives filtered engine oil from high-pressure oil pump reservoir. High-
pressure oil pump delivers engine oil through oil rail in cylinder head at pressures of 600-3000 psi (42.19-
210.93 kg/cm2 ) to fuel injectors.
Low-Pressure Oil System
Crankshaft-driven low-pressure oil pump supplies pressurized lubrication for engine oiling system. See Fig. 40.
Oil cooler is used for cooling of engine oil.
Fig. 40: Engine Low-Pressure Engine Oiling System

Crankcase Capacity
Crankcase capacity is 14 qts. (13.2L) with oil filter.
Oil Pressure
Oil pressure should be 40-70 psi (2.8-4.9 kg/cm2 ) at 3300 RPM, with engine at normal operating temperature.
