4200 Wet Sump Engine
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The lubrication system is of the wet sump type; the engine lubrication oil is collected in a sump, integral with the crankcase, and is circulated by means of a single oil-bath pump. This solution replaces the dry-sump system that equipped the previous engines. This solution is technically much less complex, allowing to improve reliability. Other advantages of the wet sump lubrication system are improved fuel economy and significant noise reduction improving comfort on board.
