separate pipe line is provided for lubrication of timing gear and chain. An oil pressure gauge is mounted on the
dashboard to measure the oil pressure in the system. The connection of which is connected to the oil gallery
after the crankshaft main journal. Some vehicles have an oil pressure indicator mounted on the dashboard.
Also, a separate oil pipe line is connected to the engine on which the turbocharger is installed.
Combine Lubrication System: This method combines flash and A combination of pressurized lubrication
systems. Both these methods have been used in this system.

Oil Pan or Sump: A reservoir that holds the engine oil.
Oil Pump: used for pumping the oil from the sump to other parts of the engine.
Oil Filter: Removes contaminants from the oil.
Oil Cooler: Helps to maintain the temperature of the oil, especially in high-performance engine.
Connecting Rod Bearings: Bearings that support the connecting rods and are also lubricated by the oil.
Camshaft Bearings: Bearings that support the camshaft and are lubricated by the oil
Valve Train Components: Components such as cam lobes, lifters, and valve stems that are lubricated by the oil.
Piston Rings: Rings that help seal the combustion chamber and are also lubricated by the oil.
Oil Galleries or Passages: Through which the oil flows to reach various engine components.
