Lubrication System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The engine lubrication system is of the force-feed type in which oil is supplied under full pressure to the crankshaft, connecting rod bearings, timing chain tensioners, piston oil cooling jets and VCT solenoids. The flow of oil to the valve tappets and valve train is controlled by a restricting orifice located in the cylinder head, front camshaft cap.
