1.5 Engine Lubrication System
Lubrication Description
A structural diecast aluminium oil pan is fitted that incorporates an oil suction pipe, an oil deflector and an oil level
sensor. The oil suction pipe is bolted in to the oil pan and seals to the bottom of the cylinder block with a gasket. The oil
deflector is bolted to the upper portion of the oil pan and ensures oil supply is maintained under all conditions. The oil
level sensor is mounted thr ough the bottom of the oil pan.
A crankshaft driven gerotor oil pump is mounted to the front of the cylinder block. The pump, which incorporates an
internal pressure-relief valve, draws oil from the oil sucti on tube through the lower passage in the cylinder block. Oil is
then directed through an upper passage to the left-hand side of the cylinder block where the oil filter adapter is mounted.
The oil filter adapter incorporat es a top-access, cartridge style oil filter. The filter is accessed through a screw-on cap tha t
incorporates an oil bypass valve. The o il filter adapter housing incorporates a drain back control valve and a threaded oil
pressure sender. Oil flows through a lower passage within the oil filter adapter and through the o il filter cartridge. Filtered
oil travels back through the upper passage of the adapter and into the engine block.
Oil is then directed up and across the front of the cylinder block, through several drilled passages. These front passages
feed oil to each cylinder head, the passage for the main bearings and piston oil jets, the right-hand and left-hand
secondary idler sprockets and to t he primary timing chain tensioner.
Each cylinder head passage directs oil into oiling circuits for the stationary hydraulic la sh adjusters (SHLAs) and the
camshaft bearing journals. An additional passage in the cy linder head also directs oil to the secondary timing chain
tensioner.
The oil passage that supplies oil to the main bearings also s upplies oil to pressure actuated piston cooling oil jets. Each
oil jet is mounted between opposing cylinder bores and directs oil to the two bores to provide extra cooling and control
piston temperatures.
From the front passages, oil is directed to the front of the block where t he right-hand and left-hand intermediate drive
shaft sprockets and the primary timing chain tensioner are mounted. Each camshaft timing chain tensioner relies on a
gasket to maintain an oil rese rve after the engine is turned off. All camshaft timing chain tensioners incorporate a small
oil jet to supply an oil spray onto the camshaft timing chain components.
Oil returns to the oil pan, either through the camshaft timing chain area or through the drain back passages on the
outboard walls of the cylinder heads and cylinder block.

1.6 Service Notes
Cleanliness and Care
Throughout this Section, correct cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and fr iction areas is a part of the repair
procedure. This is considered standard workshop practice, even if not specifically stated.
When any internal engine part is serviced, care and cleanliness is extremely important.
When components are removed for service, they should be ma rked, organised or retained in a specific order for
reassembly.
At the time of installation, components should be installed in the same location and with the same mating surface as
when removed.
Any engine is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tole rances that are measured
in thousandths of a millimetre. Thes e surfaces should be covered or protected to avoid component damage.
A liberal coating of clean engine oil should be applied to fricti on areas during assembly, as the lubrication will protect and
lubricate friction surfaces dur ing the initial engine start-up.
Replacing Engine Gaskets
Re-Using Gaskets and Applying Sealants
• do not reuse any gasket unless specified,
• gaskets that can be reused will be ident ified in the service procedure, and
• do not apply sealant to any gasket or sealing surf ace unless specified in the service information.
Separating Components
• Use a rubber mallet to separate components.
• Bump the part sideways to loosen the components.
• Bumping should be done at bends or reinforced areas to prevent distortion of parts.
Cleaning Gasket Surfaces
• Where required, remove all gasket and sealing materi al from the part using a plastic or wood scraper.
• Care must be used to avoid gouging or scraping the sealing surfaces.
• Do not use any other method or technique to re move sealant or gasket material from a part.
• Do not use abrasive pads, sand paper, or power tools to clean the gasket surfaces as these methods of cleaning
can cause damage to the component sealing surfaces. Abrasive pads also produce fine grit that the oil filter cannot
remove from the oil. This grit is abrasiv e and has been known to cause internal engine damage.
Assembling Components
• When assembling components, use only the sealant specified or equivalent in the service procedure.
• Sealing surfaces should be cl ean and free of debris or oil.
• Specific components such as crankshaft oil seals or valve stem oil seals may require lubrication during assembly.
• Components requiring lubrication will be i dentified in the service procedure.
• When applying sealant to a component, apply the am ount specified in the service procedure.
• Do not allow the sealant to enter into any blind threaded hol es as it may prevent the bolt from clamping correctly or
cause component damage when tightened.
• Only ever tighten bolts to the correct to rque specification. Do not over-tighten.

2.2 Symptoms
Strategy Based Diagnosis
1 Review the system operations to familiarise yourself with the system functions, refer to 1 General Information and
6C1-1 Engine Management General Information.
2 Perform an engine management Diagnostic System Check, refer to Section 6C1-2 Engine Management – V6 –
Diagnostics .
All diagnosis on a vehicle should follow a logical process. Strategy based diagnosis is a uniform approach for repairing
all vehicle systems. The strategy based diagnostic flow chart may always be used to resolve a system problem. The
diagnostic flow chart is the place to start when repairs are required. For a detailed explanation of strategy based
diagnosis and the flow chart, refer to Section 6C1-2 Engine Management – V6 – Diagnostics .
Visual / Physical Inspection
1 Inspect the vehicle for aftermarket accessories which may adversely affect engine operation.
2 Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious signs of damage or conditions that may cause the symptom.
3 Check the engine lubrication system for the following:
• correct oil level,
• correct lubricant viscosity,
• correct oil filter application, and
• contaminated or burnt oil.
4 Confirm the exact operating conditions under whic h the fault occurs. Note factors such as:
• engine speed (r.p.m.),
• ambient temperature,
• engine temperature,
• engine warm-up time, and
• vehicle road speed.
5 Compare the engine sounds, if applic able, to a known good engine, and ensure you are not trying to diagnose a
normal operating condition.
Intermittent
For intermittent faults, test the vehicle under the same conditions the customer reported in order to confirm whether the
system is operating correctly.
