The engine is lubricated with pressurized oil. The gear pump is located at the bottom of the crankcase. The oil cooler is installed under the oil filter. The oil filter is cooled by the coolant of the cooling system. The oil pump drive gear also drives the vacuum pump.
The engine must not be overfilled with oil. For a diesel engine, this is even more important, since if engine oil enters the exhaust system, the catalyst can be damaged. Therefore, always keep this in mind when filling engine oil. It is best to pour enough oil so that when checking its amount, the oil level on the dipstick is slightly below the mark «max». After you have driven a few kilometers, check the oil level again and top up if necessary.
