Lubrication system
A fundamental subsystem within an internal-combustion-engine designed to reduce friction, minimize wear, and assist in heat dissipation by maintaining a hydrodynamic film between moving components.
Critical Importance
- Engine Survival: Maintaining consistent Oil Pressure is the primary factor in preventing catastrophic mechanical failure.
- Failure Detection: Warning Lights serve as the critical interface for detecting pressure drops that threaten engine integrity.
