Q » How does an oil pump circulate lubricant through the engine?
17 Oct, 2025
A » An oil pump circulates lubricant through an engine by drawing oil from the sump and pushing it under pressure through the engine's oil galleries. This ensures critical components such as bearings, camshaft, and pistons are adequately lubricated, reducing friction and wear. The pump is typically driven by the engine's crankshaft, ensuring that the oil flow rate matches the engine's operational needs, thus maintaining optimal performance and longevity.
