(17) Engine oil pan Prelube pump (14) can be driven by an electric motor or by an air motor. The prelube pump provides engine oil in order to lubricate the engine bearings before the engine is started and after the engine is shut down. The engine control will not allow the engine to start until the prelubrication has provided the minimum amount of lubrication to the engine. A check valve is located in the line between the prelube pump and the engine oil manifold. The check valve prevents pressurized engine oil from the engine oil pump from going through the prelube pump after the engine is started.Engine oil pump (15) is mounted on the front left side of the front housing. The engine oil pump pulls engine oil from the pan through suction bell (16) and suction tube (13). The suction bell has a screen in order to strain the engine oil.The engine oil pump has a relief valve. If the pressure from the pump reaches 1000 kPa (145 psi), the relief valve opens and some of the engine oil returns to the engine oil pan. This helps prevent damage to the lubrication system components when the engine oil is cold.Engine oil is pumped to the ports on the bypass valve of priority valve (12). If the pressure in the main oil gallery becomes excessive, the bypass valve opens in order to divert the engine oil back to the engine oil pan.

(1) Temperature regulator housing
(7) Engine oil coolers The engine oil is pumped to temperature regulator housing (1). The temperature regulators and engine oil coolers (7) maintain the engine oil temperature. The core assemblies in the engine oil cooler are connected in parallel with the aftercooler. Water flows through the inside of the tubes in the bundle of the engine oil coolers. If the engine oil temperature is higher than 85 °C (185 °F), the flow is directed to the engine oil coolers. Engine oil flows from the engine oil coolers through valve (11) to engine oil filter housing (9). At cooler oil temperatures, the engine oil bypasses the engine oil coolers and the engine oil flows directly to the engine oil filter housing.

(9) Engine oil filter housing
(11) Valve for the engine oil filters Each engine oil filter housing (9) contains three engine oil filter elements. Each housing has a port in order to purge air for draining and for filling.Valve (11) allows the filter elements for each housing to be changed separately during engine operation.

(22) Gallery for the piston cooling jets The engine oil flows from the engine oil filters through priority valve (12) into main engine oil gallery (2) and into gallery (22) for the piston cooling jets.Main engine oil gallery (2) is connected to the crankshaft main bearings by drilled passage (10) in the cylinder block. Drilled holes in the crankshaft supply engine oil to the connecting rod bearings.When the pressure in the system reaches 140 kPa (20 psi), priority valve (12) admits the engine oil to gallery (22) for the piston cooling jets. The priority valve will not allow engine oil into the gallery until there is pressure in main engine oil gallery (2). This reduces the amount of time that is necessary for the pressure to build up during start-up. The priority valve also helps maintain pressure at low idle speed.
