2006 LAND ROVER FRELANDER 2 engine oil

ItemPart NumberDescription1-ValveBecause the damper is locat ed in an environment where t he normal operat ing temperat ure can reach approximat ely 140°C (284°F),coupled wit h t he fact that t he damper also generates it s own heat, it is neces sary for it t o be oil cooled. A s eparat e oil circuitroutes oil from the engine's oil cooler t o a valve in t he engine block, which opens at approximat ely 2 bar. The oil t hen flows t o 3jet s, located on t he cranks haft vibrat ion damper cooling pipe, which then directs the oil t o the lower s ect ion of t he damper.
The oil flows t hrough the jets at approximately 12 lit ers per minute.
At high t emperat ures , oil cooling reduces t he damper t emperat ure by approximat ely 7°C (45°F).

ItemPart NumberDescription1-O-ring2-Oil cooler3-Oil filt er housingThe oil filter and cooler ass embly is located at the front of the LH s ide of t he cylinder block. The oil filt er housing cont ains aseparat e single oil filt er element . The oil filter supplies clean oil t o t he oil cooler, which is connect ed t o t he coolant s yst em, and isfurther dist ribut ed to the various engine sys tems (For more informat ion refer t o t he lubrication s ect ion).

Oil Level Gage

ItemPart NumberDescription1-Oil level gage2-Oil level gage t ube3-Bolt4-O-ring s ealThe oil level gauge locat es along t he int ake s ide of t he engine and is s upport ed in a t ube ins t alled in t he oil pan. A bolt s ecurelyat t aches the t ube to t he engine oil cooler via a bracket . Two holes in t he end of t he gauge indicate the minimum and maximum oillevels . The difference between the dips t ick markings , minimum and maximum, corresponds t o 0.8 lit res .
Starter Motor

To ensure t hat the air is releas ed from t he oil sys tem, a valve is locat ed in t he oil pump on t he pres sure s ide. During t he build-upof press ure, air is routed out into the crankcas e. This cont inues unt il t he valve clos es at approximat ely 0.2 bar.
Oil Filter and Cooler Assembly
The majorit y of oil is routed t o the oil filter, which is a s eparat e s ingle filt er element locat ed in t he housing. The over-flow valvefor t he blocked filt er is in t he cover. The valve opens at approximat ely 2 bar.
There is a valve at t he bot t om of t he hous ing. The t ask of t he valve is t o drain t he housing of oil when t he oil filter is removed.W hen the oil filter is ins t alled, the valve is closed. A spring loaded ring at the bott om of t he filt er hous ing is affect ed by t heact ual filt er. The ring is , in t urn, mechanically connected t o the valve.
W hen the filter is removed, the s pring lifts the ring, which, in turn, opens t he valve whereupon t he oil drains to t he oil pan.

The non-return valve ens ures that t he oil filt erhous ing is not drained of oil when the engine is s wit ched off. The valve opens at approximat ely 0.2 bar.
The oil first pas ses t he oil cooler, a plat e oil cooler. The chamber for oil and coolant is split alternat ely between the plat es. Thereare 20 plat es used in tot al. The first 16 plat es are us ed for oil, which is routed through the engine's normal lubricat ion circuit , i.e.the oil is routed t o t he oil filt er.
The 4 las t plat es are us ed t o provide a proport ion of the oil with ext ra cooling before it is rout ed onwards to cool t he vibrat iondamper. The circuit is calibrat ed t o achieve correct flow.
There is a by-pas s valve parallel t o t he oil cooler. The valve ens ures an oil flow to t he oil filt er even if the oil cooler is blocked.The valve opens at approximat ely 2 bar.
Intake Valve (Piston Cooling)
The oil is also rout ed to the duct for oil cooling, which is parallel to t he ducts for main bearings and connect ing rod bearings .
The oil first pas ses a valve that opens/clos es at approximately 2.0 bar. Thereaft er, t he oil is rout ed to the jet s for pis t on cooling:
If the valve has t oo high an opening pres s ure, t his means that t he oil flow t o t he pis t ons reduces , which can caus e enginedamageIf the valve has t oo low an opening press ure, this produces an increas ed flow t o piston cooling. It can, in certain s ituat ions(before the relief valve is opened) result in t he engine's oil pres s ure being t oo low causing engine damage
The jets direct the oil t owards the underneath of t he pis tons. Each cylinder has it s own jet .

Oil Consump tion Test
The amount of oi l an engi ne uses will vary wit h t he way t he vehi cl e is driven i n addit ion t o normal engine-t o-enginevariat ion. This i s es pecial ly t rue during t he fi rs t 16,100 km (10,000 mil es) when a new engine i s bei ng broken i n or unt ilcert ai n i nt ernal components become condit ioned. Vehicles us ed i n heavy-dut y operati on may us e more oil . The fol lowingare exampl es of heavy-duty operat ion:
