The task of the lubrication system is to build-up a protective film of oil between the moving parts of the engine. The lubrication system must also transport dirt particles away from the moving parts and cool hot engine parts.

This is carried out by the oil pump supplying oil to the oil filter through an oil pressure line of treated steel.

Clean oil is supplied to the oil cooler from the oil filter to the oil cooler. From there the oil is further distributed, through a duct system, out to the various engine functions.

A pressure sensitive valve controls the oil flow to the vibration damper's oil cooler pipe if necessary.
