Components :
A. Oil Pump :
The oil pump is a simple centrifugal pump
driven by crankshaft, through a chain drive.
The main function of the oil pump is to cir-
culate oil through the engine movable components.
It sucks the oil from the oil sump through a strainer
which prevents entrance of any particles into the
pump, and supplies to the oil gallery.
To keep the oil pump from building up too
much pressure, a relief valve is also fitted to the oil
pump.

B. Oil Filter :
The oil filter used is a
“SPIN ON TYPE”
fitted to the oil cooler.
The main function of oil filter is to filter all
contaminants that get ingested into the engine,
along with traces of worn out metals from bearings
and other internal parts.
The oil enters the oil filter under pressure
through the holes on the perimeter of the base
plate.
The oil then passes through the filter ele-
ment where it is "cleaned", and then flows to the
central tube and back into the engine, oil gallery.
C. Oil Strainer :
The oil strainer is fitted to the oil pump,
through which the oil is drawn from oil sump and
supplied to the oil gallery. The strainer acts like a
filter and blocks the contaminants from entering the
oil pump.
D. Oil Cooler :
Oil cooler is heat exchanger which uses
coolant to reduce the temperature of oil coming
from the oil pump. It is mounted on the oil filter
bracket.
