Engine lubrication system (Peugeot Eurovans 806)

A circulating lubrication system is used to lubricate the engine. A gear oil pump, located in the crankcase and driven by a chain from the crankshaft, builds up the necessary pressure to supply oil to the appropriate bearings and rubbing parts.

For all diesel engines, as well as for other types of engines, an oil cooler is installed between the oil filter and the cylinder block.

The oil filter is not the same for all engines. The replaceable filter element is replaced when changing the oil. The oil change must be carried out in accordance with the maintenance intervals indicated in the service log.

The amount of engine oil depends on the type of engine. The same goes for oil pressure.

The oil pan can be made from iron sheet (cars without air conditioning) or aluminum (cars with air conditioning). This moment is important, since in the first option it is necessary to install a sealing gasket under the bottom, and in the second it is not installed. The mating surfaces are lubricated only with a sealing mass.
