MOTOR LUBRICATION AND OPERATION

Motor lubrication is a crucial process to guarantee efficient operation and prolong the engine life. Next, the operation of the engine lubrication and its importance is explained.

Motor lubrication operation

The engine lubrication system uses a lubricant, such as motor oil, to reduce wear and heat generated by friction between the mobile parts of the engine. The lubrication process can be divided into the following stages:

1. *Oil circulation *: Motor oil is pumped from the motor crankcase to the top of the engine through an oil pump.
2. *Oil distribution *: Oil is distributed through a pipe and duct system until reaching the mobile parts of the engine, such as pistons, connecting rods and valves.
3. *Lubrication of parts *: oil reduces friction between the mobile parts of the engine, which helps prevent wear and excessive heat.
4. *Oil recirculation *: The oil used is recirculated back to the motor crankcase, where it is filtered and prepared to be reused.

Lubrication system components

The engine lubrication system consists of the following components:

1. *Oil pump *: Responsible for pumping the oil from the motor crankcase to the top of the engine.
2. *Oil filter *: Filter the oil to remove impurities and particles that can damage the engine.
3. *Pipes and ducts *: transport the oil from the oil pump to the mobile parts of the engine.
4. *Motor crankcase *: stores the oil and protects the mobile parts of the engine.

Importance of engine lubrication

Motor lubrication is crucial for:

1. *Reduce wear *: lubrication helps prevent the wear of mobile motor parts.
2. *Prevent excessive heat *: lubrication helps reduce heat generated by friction between the mobile parts of the engine.
3. *Improve motor efficiency *: lubrication helps improve engine efficiency by reducing friction and wear.
4. *Prolong the engine life *: lubrication helps to prolong the life of the engine by reducing wear and excessive heat.
