Oil Distribution
(see illustration on page 14)
Oil distribution within the block and cylinder
heads is similar to that of the V8 engine, the main
differences being in the filter and cooler
arrangement and the method of supplying the
VVT system.
Oil is drawn from the sump through the strainer
by the crankshaft driven pump, passes through
the externally mounted filter and oil cooler and
returns to the block. Distribution is via the main
gallery and crankshaft oilways to the lower
crankcase components and via branch feeds to
the chain tensioners and then cylinder head
components. Extra oilways in the cylinder heads
provide a built-in feed for the VVT components
(see VVT section).
Oil Pump
The oil pump is of the inner/outer rotor type with
the directly driven inner rotor located via flats on
the crankshaft and the body of the pump bolted
to the cylinder block. The oil pressure relief valveis located in the lower LH side of the pump. An
oil pick-up tube and strainer is bolted to the
pump inlet and projects directly down to the
sump. Oil foaming is reduced by the windage tray
bolted to the underside of the bedplate.

Oil Cooler and Filter Mounting
The oil filter and oil cooler are mounted slightly
away from the cylinder block on an aluminium
alloy adaptor which is an integral extension of the
LH engine mount. The oil filter is a replaceable
canister screw on type and the cooler is fixed by a
single through bolt to the adaptor. Both
components are connected to the cylinder block
through internal oilways in the adaptor casting
and via an interfacing filter mounting in the
block. A hollow bolt passes through the
adaptor/engine mount and screws into the centre
channel of the block filter mounting to provide
the oil return from the cooler to the cylinder
block.
The adaptor mounted oil cooler is an oil to water
heat exchanger and the coolant matrix is
connected via hoses into the main coolant system
at the radiator bottom hose (see Cooling System).

V6 Engine AJ-V6/AJ28
20to each VVT unit is supplied via fixed oilways in
the cylinder head and not through a separate
bush carrier. This arrangement requires a feed
through the camshaft side of the VVT unit from
the main cylinder head supply. The oil feed is
controlled by the VVT oil control valve, a solenoid
operated shuttle valve, which is bolted directly to
the cylinder head. From the oil control valve, the
flow is via the thrust bearing cap, through
drillings in the camshaft and then through the
hollow fixing bolt which secures the VVT unit.
Drain holes are provided at the rear (camside)
face of the VVT unit for any residual oil which has
seeped past the piston.
Operation
Operation is similar to that of the two stage V8
VVT system. With the oil control valve open, oil
pressure on the helical drive piston is increased,
rotating the cams to the advanced position.
When the valve closes, oil pressure reduces and
the return spring pushes the piston back to thefully retarded position.
The oil control valve is controlled by a 300Hz
PWM signal from the PCM which sets it to either
the fully open or fully closed position.

Engine Cooling
Cooling System
Engine cooling is via a conventional re-circulation
system between the engine assembly and front
mounted coolant to air radiator. Coolant flow is
from the front of the engine, dividing to pass
around each bank of cylinders towards the rear
and then flowing forward through the cylinder
heads. The coolant from the engine returns to the
top RH side of the radiator, by-pass circuit and
also provides the hot input feed to the cabin
V6 ENGINE COOLING SYSTEMheater system. The bottom hose feeds coolant
from the radiator via the thermostat to the
coolant pump and also provides the cooling
circuit for the oil. A differential pressure orifice in
the bottom hose causes a flow through the engine
mounted oil cooler.
A coolant reservoir system (or de-gas system) is
used which is similar to previous (pre 1998MY)
vehicles.

Cylinder Head
The cylinder head incorporates the modifications
first introduced for the AJ27 engine except for the
camshaft sensor ring and cam cover.
Camshaft Sensor Ring
Cam position sensing is similar to that used on the
AJ27 engine, except that the sensor ring fitted to
each inlet camshaft has five triggering teeth.
Camshaft Covers
To improve accessibility, an extension tube is
fitted to the oil filler hole on the bank 2 cam
cover. Due to the position of the throttle and air
intake ducting, the part load breather outlet is
taken from bank 1 cam cover and the full load
breather outlet from bank 2 (the reverse of AJ27).
Front Cover
The front cover is modified from the AJ27 to
include a mounting boss for a new idler pulley
(see Front End Accessories Drive).
Lubrication
The lubrication system includes the uprated oil
pump (for the linear VVT system) and the same oil
temperature sensor as fitted to the AJ27 engine.
The oil sump and pan are modified as described
on page 46.
The external oil system components are located
laterally across the front of the sump body and
consist of an oil filter, oil cooler and oil filter head
assembly. The oil cooler is an oil to water heat
exchanger similar to the V6 oil cooler and the
cooler matrix is also connected via hoses to a
circulator orifice in the radiator bottom hose (see
Cooling System). The oil filter screws on to the
cooler which connects to the sump body through
an adaptor, the oil filter head assembly.

Engine Management Sensors
The configuration of the AJ28 engine management sensors is changed from the previous V8 variants:
¥ New components unique to AJ28 engine are the MAF sensor and engine fuel temperature (EFT)
sensor.
¥ Components in common with the V6 engine are the IAT sensor, KS sensors, injector pressure (IP)
sensor, engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor and HO2 sensors.
¥ The crankshaft (CKP) and camshaft (CMP) sensors are the same as those fitted to the AJ27 engine.
Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensors
Upstream and dowmstream HO2 sensors are
fitted and are of the type used on the V6 engine
(the linear type sensor is not used).
