Much like your heart pumps blood throughout your body the oil pump in a car engine pumps oil throughout the engine to lubricate moving and rotating parts.

What is advantages of splash oil lubrication system used in automobiles car?
splash system is sutaible for low and medium sped engine. splash lubrication system is simple . having low cast.
How do you Check supercharger fluid?
If it uses engine oil for lubrication then there is no maintenance other than changing your engine oil and filter at a regular interval. I recommend 3,000 miles on a Supercharged car which uses engine oil for lubrication. If on the other hand it has a self contained lubrication system, then you need to read the owners manual or go to the manufacturer's web site.
What is gravity feed lubrication?
gravity feed lubrication is when the lubricant is pumped to the top of the object needing lubrication, and falls on top of the object, covering it and lubricating it. An example would be a wet sump car engine.
How do you know if too much oil is hurting your car?
If you have too much oil in your pan there is a possibility that the crank will whip it up into a foam. Your oil pump will no pump the foam so your engine will not get the lubrication it needs. No lubrication = seized engine.

What happens when there is not enough oil in car?
If it is very low the engine will starve for lubrication. It will overheat, the bearings & rings will wear and eventually seize and the engine will self destruct.
What happens to the engine if you drive a car without oil?
It will seize - due lack of lubrication and coolant (one of the oil's uses)
How to Make your Car Engine Last?
Your car engine is the powerplant of your automobile. Virtually everything that runs on your car, including electrical and electronic equipment, does so because the car engine provides the necessary energy. Even the radio would eventually die if the car engine was not driving the alternator which provides electricity to the battery for the radio.Still, the car engine does not have to be a complete mystery. For those who are not mechanically inclined, it may help to think of the car engine as a group of subsystems all functioning at the same time. For example, the alternator, mentioned above, is part of the car's electrical system. The car also has a starter system, cooling (and heating) system, lubrication system, air conditioning system, power steering system, fuel system, exhaust and emission control system and even a brake system (most cars today have either power brakes or power-assisted brakes which require a significant vacuum boost to operate properly. The car engine provides that boost).While all car engine systems are important, many of them operate quite effectively with very little maintenance. The exhaust system is a good example. On the other hand, the lubrication system, which is essentially the engine oil, does need to be maintained on a regular basis or serious problems could develop so, check your car engine oil frequently.What sort of things can the average car owner do to ensure the longevity of their car engine and thus, their car? First, follow all of the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations. If you are not experienced enough to do the maintenance yourself, you are well advised to find a trustworthy mechanic and have them do the work. Do not just skip it because if you think maintaining an automobile is expensive just wait and see how expensive it is to repair an unmaintained car.Additionally, take care when you are operating your car. For example, your car may be sporty but that is no reason to "redline" the car engine. You might impress your friends with squealing tires but you are certainly not doing your car any favors. Remember that a car is a machine and all machines are prone to breaking down. So, maintaining your car is important but also, operate your car as if it was an expensive piece of equipment (which in most cases, it is).
How does the engine oil work in a car engine?
The fuel system of the car engine accelerates gas from the tank of gas which then mixes with fresh air. This mixture then travels comfortably through the cylinder. The Fuel is delivered in three common ways namely, car buretion, port fuel injection and direct fuel injection. Oil plays a pivotal role in lubricating the engine and its different parts. This lubrication system helps every single part of the machine and makes sure that they are moving smoothly.
Why is a car not starting but the battery works?
Double check that the battery works, then check if the engine works.
Will it cause the car to overheat if the engine oil pan gasket is broken?
Not unless you loose enough oil to cause a lack of lubrication.
What year did Nicolaus Otto invent the first gasoline powered car?
He didn't invent a car! It was a new type of gasoline internal combustion engine which used a "four-stroke" system that he invented in 1876. Otto first used his engine to drive a motorcycle, not a car. Other people named his new engine system the "Otto Cycle Engine". It works so well that it is still the main engine system that is used worldwide for many different kinds of vehicles.
