Where is the automobile oil pump installed?

The automobile oil pump is installed inside the engine, usually located inside the oil pan, which can be seen by removing the oil pan. The oil pump is connected to a filter screen at the bottom. The function of the oil pump is to raise the oil to a certain pressure and then forcibly deliver it to the moving surfaces of various engine components. Oil pumps can be divided into two types based on their structural form: gear type and rotor type. Gear-type oil pumps are further divided into internal gear type and external gear type, with the latter generally referred to as gear-type oil pumps. When the engine is running, the drive gear on the camshaft drives the transmission gear of the oil pump, causing the drive gear fixed on the drive gear shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear to rotate in the opposite direction, delivering the oil from the inlet chamber to the outlet chamber through the tooth gaps and pump walls.
