The lubrication system has the following components:
oil pan
oil pump
oil cooler
oil filter
turbocharger oil lines
oil passages for the cylinder block
Oil Flow Through The Oil Filter And Oil Cooler
Oil flow when the engine is warm.
(1) Oil manifold
(2) Oil supply line
(3) Oil return line
(4) Oil filter
(5) Bypass valve for the oil filter
(6) Oil pan
(7) Oil pump
(8) Bypass valve for the oil cooler
(9) Suction lines
(10) Oil cooler
When the engine is warm, oil comes from oil pan (6) through suction lines (9) to oil pump (7). The
oil pump sends hot oil to oil cooler (10). The oil is then sent to oil filter (4). Oil from the oil filter is
sent to oil manifold (1) in the cylinder block and to oil supply line (2) for the turbocharger. Oil from
the turbocharger goes back through oil return line (3) to the oil pan.

(9) Suction lines
(10) Oil cooler
When the engine is cold, oil comes from oil pan (6) through suction lines (9) to oil pump (7). When
the oil is cold, an oil pressure difference in the bypass valves also causes the bypass valves to open.
These bypass valves then provide immediate lubrication to all of the engine components when cold
oil with high viscosity causes a restriction to the oil flow through oil cooler (10) and oil filter (4).
The oil pump then sends the cold oil through bypass valve (8) for the oil cooler and through bypass
valve (5) for the oil filter. The oil then goes to oil manifold (1) in the cylinder block and to supply
line (2) for the turbocharger. Oil from the turbocharger goes back through oil return line (3) to the oil
pan.
When the oil is hot, an oil pressure difference in the bypass valves also causes the bypass valves to
close. There is normal oil flow through the oil cooler and the oil filter.
The bypass valves will also open when there is a restriction in the oil cooler or the oil filter. This
prevents a restricted oil filter or a restricted oil cooler from stopping the lubrication of the engine.
Engines With BrakeSaver

The lubrication system has the following components:
oil pan
two-section oil pump
oil cooler
oil filter
turbocharger oil lines
oil passages for the cylinder block
The front section of the oil pump supplies oil for lubrication of the engine. The rear section of the oil
pump supplies oil for the operation of the BrakeSaver. The front section of the oil pump sends oil
through the oil filter. The rear section of the oil pump sends oil through the oil cooler.

When the engine is warm, oil comes from oil pan (6) through suction lines (8) to the front section of
oil pump (7). The front section of the oil pump sends oil to the oil filter. The oil from the oil filter is
sent to oil manifold (1) in the cylinder block and to oil supply line (2) for the turbocharger. Oil from
the turbocharger goes back through oil return line (3) to the oil pan.

(6) Oil pan
(7) Front section of the oil pump
(8) Suction lines
When the engine is cold, oil comes from oil pan (6) through suction lines (8). The oil is drawn into
the front section of the oil pump (7) from the suction bell. When the oil is cold, an oil pressure
difference in bypass valve (5) causes the valve to open. The bypass valve provides immediate
lubrication to all components when cold oil with high viscosity causes a restriction to the oil flow
through oil filter (4). The front section of the oil pump sends the cold oil through bypass valve (5) for
the oil filter. The oil from the oil filter is sent to oil manifold (1) in the cylinder block and to oil
supply line (2) for the turbocharger. Oil from the turbocharger goes back through oil return line (3)
to the oil pan.
When the oil is hot, an oil pressure difference in the bypass valves also causes the bypass valves to
close. There is normal oil flow through the oil filter.
The bypass valves will also open when there is a restriction in the oil filter. This prevents a restricted
oil filter from stopping the lubrication of the engine.

(7) Suction lines
When the engine is warm, oil comes from oil pan (6) through suction lines (7) to the rear section of
oil pump (5). The rear section of the oil pump sends oil to BrakeSaver control valve (3). When the
BrakeSaver is in the off position, oil is sent to oil cooler (1). The oil cooler cools the hot oil. The
cool oil from the oil cooler goes back through the BrakeSaver control valve to the oil pan.

When BrakeSaver control valve (3) is on, the oil from the rear section of oil pump (5) is sent to
BrakeSaver (4). When the oil goes through the BrakeSaver, the oil is sent back to the BrakeSaver
control valve. The control valve sends the hot oil to oil cooler (1). The oil cooler cools the hot oil.
The cool oil from the oil cooler goes back through the BrakeSaver control valve to engine oil pan
(6).

(6) Oil pan
(7) Suction lines
The oil has a high viscosity when the engine is cold. The high viscosity causes a restriction to the oil
flow through oil cooler (1). When the oil is cold, an oil pressure difference in bypass valve (2) causes
the valve to open. When the bypass valve is open, the oil from the rear section of oil pump (5) can go
through the valve. The oil then drains back into engine oil pan (6) .
Oil Flow In The Engine
Engine oil flow schematic

(2) Oil passage to the adjustable idler gear
(3) Camshaft bearing journals
(4) Oil passage to the air compressor
(5) Oil passage to the fixed idler stub shaft
(6) Piston cooling jets
(7) Oil passage to cluster idler gear
(8) Oil passage to the rear crankshaft seal
(9) Oil manifold
(10) Crankshaft main bearings
(11) Oil passage from filter
The oil from oil manifold (9) is sent under pressure through drilled passages to crankshaft main
bearings (10). The oil flows through drilled holes in the crankshaft. This oil lubricates the connecting
rod bearings. A small amount of oil is sent through piston cooling jets (6). The piston cooling jets
cool the pistons.
Oil flows through passages in the timing gear housing and the accessory drive gear. This oil flows to
the air compressor through oil passage (4) .
Oil passage (2) provides oil to the adjustable idler gear. Oil passage (5) provides oil to the fixed idler
gear. Oil passage (7) provides oil to the cluster gear. The oil flows through a passage in the shafts of
the gears. This lubrication helps to ensure a long life for the front gear group.
Oil passage (8) provides lubrication to the rear crankshaft seal. This ensures a long service life for
the rear crankshaft seal.
Oil flows into the cylinder head via a hollow locating dowel in the top deck of the cylinder block. Oil
travels to camshaft bearing journals (3) and the three center rocker arm shaft supports through drilled
passages in the cylinder head. The supports supply oil to each rocker shaft. Oil flows to the bushings
of the electronic unit injector rocker arm through holes in rocker arm shaft (1). This same oil
lubricates the valve and the rollers. Oil flows through drilled passages in the rocker arms. This oil
lubricates the roller, the valve bridge and the contact surfaces of the actuator of the unit injector.
Splash oil lubrication is used to lubricate other components of the valve system.
When all the components are lubricated the excess oil returns to the engine oil pan.
