LUBRICATION SYSTEM
n Semi dry sump system for reduced engine size
n Oil tank is incorporated into the left crankcase cover
n Newly designed dual stage oil pump
n Liquid-cooled oil cooler with cartridge type oil filter (5DM-13440-00)
n New type oil drain bolt that allows oil from crankcase and oil tank to be drained at the same time
Dual stage oil pump brings oil from oil tank to respective areas of the engine, including a spray bar
over the starter gears and the stator assembly.
The oil pump also has a scavenging pump that returns the oil to the oil tank.
The scavenged oil fills the tank until it is full and then overflows back into the sump area to main-
tain a constant level in the sump.
