Combination Splash & Pressure Lubrication The lubricating oil is distributed to the various moving parts of a typical internal combustion engine by one of the three following methods: pressure, splash, or a combination of pressure and splash. The pressure lubrication system ... principal method of lubricating aircraft engines. Splash lubrication may be used in addition to pressure lubrication on aircraft engines, but it is never used by itself; aircraft-engine lubrication systems are always either the pressure type or the combination pressure…

This preservative oil should be removed at end of the first 25 hours of operation. When adding oil during the period when preservative oil is in the engine, use only aviation grade straight mineral oil or ashless dispersant oil ... required, of the viscosity desired. If ashless dispersant oil is used in a new engine, or a newly overhauled engine, high oil consumption might possibly be experienced. The additives in some of these ashless dispersant oils may retard the break…

Oil Systems The engine oil system performs several important functions: • Lubrication of the engine’s moving parts • Cooling of the engine by reducing friction • Removing heat from the cylinders • Providing a seal between the cylinder walls and pistons • Carrying away ... contaminants Figure 7-17. Wet-sump oil system. Reciprocating engines use either a wet-sump or a dry-sump oil system. In a wet-sump system, the oil is located in a sump that is an integral part…
