Where is the oil pump located in a vehicle?
1 Answers
The oil pump is installed near the engine oil pan. Below is relevant information about the oil pump: 1. Function: The oil pump delivers engine oil, creating pressure to supply oil to all lubrication-required parts of the engine. Engine oil is often called the lifeblood of the engine, serving functions such as lubrication, cleaning, sealing, cushioning, rust prevention, and heat dissipation. Without engine oil, the engine cannot operate normally. 2. Principle: During engine operation, the oil forms a protective film on the surfaces of various components, preventing direct contact between parts. This reduces friction between components and lowers operational resistance within the engine.
