2. Oil Filter :
The oil filter used is a "Spin On Type"
fitted.
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
element where it is cleaned, and then flows to
the central tube and back into the engine, oil
gallery.
3. 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.
4. Piston cooling Nozzle
Piston cooling nozzles are fitted on the
block / on the crankshaft oil gallery such that
the oil sprayed from it hits the underside of
the piston crown / gallery. This is very
essential to bring down the piston crown
temperature.
5. Oil Pressure Switch Sensor :
Oil pressure switch sends the signal to low
oil pressure indicator lamp provided on the
vehicle instrument panel by closing the circuit
to ground when the oil pressure is low / below
the optimum value.
