    U 8 - Lubrication System

    Uploaded by

    Le Dinh Duy
    The lubrication system serves several important functions including lubricating engine parts to reduce friction, sealing the engine to reduce blow-by, cleaning the engine by removing particles, cooling the engine by dissipating heat, absorbing shock imposed on bearings, and absorbing contaminants. Drivers should check their oil level regularly and change it according to the manufacturer's recommendations, typically every 5,000 km or 3 months. The lubrication system includes parts like the oil pump, oil pan, pressure relief valve, oil pressure indicator, oil filter, oil galleries, and positive crankcase ventilation valve.

    - What is function of engine’s lubrication

    system?
    - How do drivers ensure the oil in their
    engine is up to standard?
    - What are names of parts of lubrication
    systems?
    Unit 8
    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
    Positive 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.
    Match the words with the definitions

    A. a part that works with a grease gun.


    1. Viscosity
    B. the thickness of a fluid
    2. Detergent
    C. a sIippery substance used to keep
    3. Sludge parts moving
    4. Oil D. a chemical used to clean things
    5. Zerk E. a thick substance produced by
    burning oil
    TRUE or FALSE

    1. An oil change at Express Oil removes detergent


    buildup.

    2. Express Oil changes oil pumps with each oil change.

    3. A poorly lubricated suspension will experience friction.
