  1. Chapter 13 Lubrication

  2. Objectives • Analyze wear and damage to lubrication system parts • Explain lubrication system theory • Select and perform most appropriate repairs to lubrication system

  3. Oil • Used to reduce friction • Prevents internal engine components from rubbing against each other • Partial breakdown of lubricating film is known as boundary lubrication

  4. Viscosity • Resistance of an oil to roll and flow • Measurement of an oil’s thickness is also called weight • When a “W” accompanies the rating • Oil’s viscosity has been tested at 0 degrees • Means that it is a winter blend

  5. Oil Service Ratings • API • Ratings progress SA through SM • SM is the latest rating • “S” means the oil is for engine with spark ignition • Diesel engine oil is rated from CA through CI • “C” stands for compression ignition

  6. Oil Service Ratings • Diesel engine oil is rated from CA through CI • “C” stands for compression ignition

  7. Deterioration of Oil • Oil never wears out • Becomes diluted with unburned fuel and water

  8. Deterioration of Oil • 100 gallons of burned gasoline produce • 90 to 120 gallons of water • 3 to 10 gallons of unburned fuel • 2 pounds of soot • 1 pound of resins and varnishes • 1 to 4 pounds of nitrogen and sulfur acids • 1 to 2 ounces of hydrochloric acid

  9. Oil Additives • Detergents • Antioxidants • Antiwear additives • Pour point depressants • Corrosion inhibitors • Antifoam additives • Friction modifiers

  10. Oil Additives

  11. Synthetic Oils • 1930s • Compared to conventional oils • Outstanding low temperature characteristics • Better viscosity index • Increased fuel economy and power • Higher priced • Oil change frequency is less

  12. Oil Pumps • Driven by camshaft or crankshaft • Three types of pumps • External gear • Rotor • Internal and external gear • Cast iron pumps are better than aluminum because they wear less

  13. Oil Pumps

  14. Oil Pressure • Normal oil pressure at idle • About 25 psi • Low oil pressure • Indicates excessive bearing clearance or a worn pump • High oil pressure • Pressure relief valve stuck in closed position

  15. Oil Pump Failure • Wear or seize • Improper engine maintenance • Debris from broken or failed engine parts • Hex drive shaft twists off because foreign material enters pump • Seals and o-rings wear and deteriorate

  16. Oil Pump Failure

  17. Installing Oil Pump • Check relief valve operation • Retorque pump cover to specifications • Ensure pump is properly aligned before bolting on • Damage can occur

  18. Installing Oil Pump

  19. Priming the System • Use priming tool hooked to an electric drill • Insert priming tool into oil pump • Drive tool slowly in direction of distributor rotation • After pressure builds • Rotate crankshaft one complete rotation • Prime system once more

  20. Pressure Priming • Uses air pressure to push oil through system • Used to locate excessive leakage from bearings • Also to flush oil galleries during an in car engine repair

  21. Pressure Priming

  22. Filter Bypass Valve • Bypass valve opens: • Under heavy flow • When the oil is cold and thick • When the filter becomes plugged due to poor maintenance

  23. Changing the Filter • Use a filter wrench only to remove the filter • Never to tighten it • Oil rubber sealing ring on the base of the filter before installing it • Ensure o-ring is in place on filter • Tighten filter by hand only

  24. Testing PCV System • Pull valve from its mounting • With engine running • Cover end of valve with thumb

  25. Testing PCV System • Engine RPM should drop 50 to 80 rpm • With engine running and pcv installed • Should have vacuum at rocker cover oil filler opening • With engine stopped • PCV should rattle when shaken
