Dipstick - Let the user check oil levels manually, Oil Level Sensor - Engine management system check oil levels manually or electronically., Piston Cooling Jets - Spray oil onto the underside of the pistons to cool and lubricate them during operation., Rocker Arms and Valve Train Components - These parts at the top of the engine are lubricated to reduce wear and ensure smooth valve operation., Crankshaft and Camshaft Bearings - Receive pressurized oil to reduce friction and wear as the crankshaft and camshaft spin., Oil Pickup Tube - A tube that draws oil from the sump and delivers it to the oil pump., Oil Cooler - Cools the oil to maintain optimal viscosity and prevent overheating, especially in performance or heavy-duty engines., Oil Pressure Relief Valve - Regulates oil pressure by diverting excess oil back to the sump if the pressure gets too high., Oil Galleries - Internal channels in the engine block and cylinder head that allow pressurized oil to reach key components like bearings and camshafts., Oil Filter - Removes dirt, metal particles, and sludge from the oil before it circulates through the engine again., Oil Pan (Sump) - Stores engine oil when the engine is off or at rest. It’s typically located at the bottom of the engine., Oil Pump - Draws oil from the sump and pressurizes it to circulate throughout the engine. It's the heart of the lubrication system., Viscosity - Describes the thickness or flowrate of the oil changes if the oil is hot or cold, Strainer - located in sump and attched to pick up pipe filter large bits of debris, Oil filler cap - can be removed to allow oil to be added to engine then replaced,
