    Lubrication System

    Uploaded by

    Kristian Ureta
    The lubrication system lubricates moving engine parts to reduce friction, seals gaps to prevent oil leakage and blow-by, cleans the engine by removing debris, cools the engine by dissipating heat, absorbs shocks and contaminants. Viscosity is the oil's resistance to flow and varies with temperature. The oil pump circulates oil which is filtered and delivered through galleries. A pressure relief valve, indicator, and filter are also part of the system. Regular oil changes every 5,000 km or 3 months are important for engine health.

    LUBRICATION SYSTEM

    Purpose of Lubrication System


    •Lubricate
    Reduces Friction by creating a thin film(Clearance)
    between moving parts (Bearings and journals)
    Purpose of Lubrication System
    •Seals

    The oil helps form a gastight


    seal between piston rings
    and cylinder walls
    (Reduces Blow-By)

    Internal oil leak (blow-by) will


    result in BLUE SMOKE at the
    tale pipe.
    Purpose of Lubrication System
    •Cleans
    As it circulates through the engine, the oil picks up metal
    particles and carbon, and brings them back down to the pan.
    Purpose of Lubrication System
    •Cools
    Picks up heat when moving through the engine and then
    drops into the cooler oil pan, giving up some of this heat.
    Purpose of Lubrication System
    •Absorbs shock
    When heavy loads are imposed on the bearings, the oil
    helps to cushion the load.

    •Absorbs Contaminants
    The additives in oil helps in absorbing the contaminants
    that enter the lubrication system.
    VISCOSITY
    Viscosity is a measure of oil’s resistance to flow.
    •A low viscosity oil is thin and flows easily

    •A high viscosity oil is thick and flows slowly.

    •As oil heats up it becomes more


    viscous (Becomes thin)
    VISCOSITY
    •If the oil is too thin(has very low viscosity) it will be forced
    out from between the moving parts, resulting in rapid wear.

    •If the oil is too thick(has very high viscosity) it will flow very
    slowly to engine parts, especially when the engine and the oil
    are cold, resulting in rapid wear.

    Viscosity Index is the measure of how much the viscosity of


    an oil changes with temperature. (20 W)
    Viscosity number is set by SAE (Society of Automotive
    Engineers)
    VISCOSITY
    •Single viscosity oils SAE 5W, SAE 10W (Winter) and
    SAE 20, SAE30 … (Summer)

    •Multiple viscosity oils SAE 10W-30.


    This means that the oil is same as SAE 10W when cold
    and SAE30 when hot.

    The higher the number the higher the viscosity(thickness) of oil.


    Properties of oil
    •Corrosion and Rust Inhibitor: Displaces water from
    metal surfaces, to prevent corrosion.

    •Foaming Resistance: Rotating crankshaft tends to cause


    bubbles (Foam) in the oil and bubbles in oil will reduce the
    effectiveness of oil to lubricate.

    •Synthetic Oils: Made by chemical process and do not


    necessarily come from petroleum.
    Service Rating of Oil
    SA, SB, SC, SD,…..SJ

    SA and SB oils are not recommended for use in today’s


    Automobile engines.
    Parts
    Oil Pumps Driven by camshaft, crankshaft (Rarely
    rebuild by an auto technician)

    •Rotor Pump(Two star shaped rotors


    pumps the oil)

    •Gear oil Pump


    Parts
    Oil Pan
    Stores the oil and helps in cooling the oil
    Pan gasket splits if over tightened.
    Parts
    Pressure Relief Valve to prevent the buildup of high
    Pressure (Causes the oil filter to bulge, but not a common
    problem).

    Good oil pressure is


    40-60 psi
    Parts
    Oil Pressure Indicator
    •Light or a Gauge
    The light turns on or gauge reads low when
    the pressure drops below 10psi.
    •Good oil pressure is 40-60 psi.
    Common causes of low oil pressure are:
    •Low oil level
    •Worn out pump
    Low oil pressure Safety system will shuts down the car by
    cutting the ignition System(Spark).
    Parts
    Oil Filter filters the oil
    Some particles are too small for the filter Element(paper
    in the filter ) to trap.
    Parts
    Oil Galleries

    Deliver the oil to top


    end and returning it
    To the oil pan.
    Parts
    ositive Crankcase ventilation Valve

    •Pollution prevention
    •Blow-by back into the intake
    •Prevent sludge in the engine.
    Parts
    Oil Pressure sending unit electrically sends the
    signal to the Light or Gauge mounted on the dash.

    If the wires get shorted the light will come on or


    the gauge will read high.
    OIL CHANGE

    •Every 5000Km

    •3 months

    Ignoring regular oil change intervals will shorten


    engine life and performance.
