Lubrication System
Crankcase with oil jets
The engine oil is supplied by the oil pump to the lubrication points in the engine block and
is pumped into the cylinder heads. The following components in the crankcase and cylin-
der head are supplied with engine oil:

• Crankshaft bearings
• Oil jets for piston cooling
• Oil jet for the drive chain (bank 5-8)
• Tensioning rail for drive chain (bank 1-4)
Oil Check Valves
Three oil check valves are inserted into each cylinder head from the outside. This prevents
the engine oil from draining out of the cylinder head and the VANOS units.

Oil Cooling (if equipped)
An oil cooler is used in hot countries. The oil cooler is located in front of the radiator above
the A/C condenser. The engine oil flows from the oil pump through a channel in the
crankcase to a connection on the generator support. The generator support has an oil ther-
mostat. A wax element in the oil thermostat continuously opens the inflow to the oil cooler
when the oil temperature is between 100 ºC to 130 ºC.
Some of the engine oil always flows past the oil thermostat and through the engine with-
out being cooled, even when the oil thermostat is fully open. This ensures a minimum
amount of oil is supplied when the cooler is faulty. A modified generator support, without
connections for the oil thermostat, is fitted to vehicles which do not have an oil cooler.
Technical Data - Lubrication System
The recommended oil is BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil
