   The oil pump is an internal combustion engine part that circulates engine oil under pressure to the rotating bearings, the sliding pistons and the camshaft of the engine. This lubricates the bearings, allows the use of higher-capacity fluid bearings and also assists in cooling the engine. As well as its primary purpose for lubrication ...

8. Filtration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filtration

   Filtration is a physical separation process that separates solid matter and fluid from a mixture using a filter medium that has a complex structure through which only the fluid can pass. Solid particles that cannot pass through the filter medium are described as oversize and the fluid that passes through is called the filtrate. [1]

9. Diesel particulate filter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_particulate_filter

   Partial filter technology is popular for retrofit. Maintenance. Filters require more maintenance than catalytic converters. Soot, a byproduct of oil consumption from normal engine operation, builds up in the filter as it cannot be converted into a gas and pass through the walls of the filter. This increases the pressure before the filter.
