Engine Lubrication: Description and Operation

Attention! The oil circuit is controlled by a thermostat in oil filter (for operation, refer to Oil Filter, Engine, Description an Operation).


Oil pressure





At operating pressure, the oil pressure at idle should not drop to 0.3 bar gage pressure.

During acceleration, the oil pressure should rise again immediately and should attain at least 3 bar gage pressure at 3000/min.

In model 126, the oil pressure is no longer transmitted to oil pressure gage (readout) in instrument cluster by way of a capillary tube as up to now, but the oil pressure gage is electrically activated by an oil pressure transmitter (2), which is screwed into oil filter.
