Engine Oiling System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1985 Volkswagen Quantum. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Slipper gear type pump is used. Oil pump is mounted at front of engine and driven by crankshaft. See Figure. Oil is lifted from pan by oil suction tube, which extends from oil pump. Oil is then fed to internal engine moving parts. Lubrication is either by pressure feed or drainage method.

Turbocharged engines use oil spray to aid in cooling piston crown and skirt. Oil is sprayed into underside of piston by nozzles which are installed at bottom of each cylinder. If oil nozzles are removed, coat retaining bolt threads with locking compound on installation.
