Oil supply
Since high longitudinal and transverse acceleration forces are to be
expected in a sports engine of this kind, the oil supply has to
function reliably even in extreme conditions. For this reason, the
engine has a relatively high oil capacity (initial fill: 7 litres).
Secondly, the oil pump intake line is fitted in such a way as to pro-
vide protection against air induction under high vehicle dynamics.
Oil circulation system
The oil pressure (raw oil) produced by the oil pump is initially circu-
lated through the oil filter module and then through the oil cooler.
The clean oil now flows along oilways to the lubrication points
(consumers). The oil filter and the oil cooler are component parts
of the plastic oil module. Non-return valves for the cylinder head
and cylinder block, as well as a cooler bypass valve, are integrated
in the oil module.
