Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3361062A1] An oil system for an internal combustion engine, comprising an oil pump, an oil sump and an oil distribution system for distributing oil to engine parts, where the oil system comprises an oil container comprising a membrane delimiting the oil container in a pressure chamber and an oil chamber which is in fluid contact with the oil distribution system, where the oil container is provided with a resilient element acting on the membrane. The advantage of the invention is that the oil level in the oil sump can be reduced during normal operation of the vehicle, without affecting the lubrication of the engine during exceptional operation conditions.
