The lubrication system is the full-flow, filter pumping
system.
The engine oil that accumulates in the oil pan is
drawn and discharged by the oil pump. After its pres-
sure is regulated by the relief valve, the oil passes
through the oil filter. Then, it flows from the oil pas-
sage in the cylinder block to the individual crankshaft
journals and the cylinder head.
