Basic Purpose of Oil

Motorcycle Oil System

FSAE System design

Wet Sump

banking in engines

In a stock motorcycle engine, the oil is stored in the oil pan as an internal oil pan. This is called a “wet sump” oil system. On a motorcycle, this works during hard lateral turns because the motorcycle itself leans into the turn, allowing the oil pickup to remain submerged during the turn. In a four wheeled vehicle, the engine cannot tilt into the turn, and the oil is forced against the side of the pan.


Oil System Differences

Accumulator

Dry Sump

Oiling for Turbochargers

The engine has a robust internal oil management and supply system, so a brief or inconsistent oil supply will have limited consequences for the engine itself. However, the turbocharger is spinning at well over 200,000 rpm, meaning even a small perturbation in oil supply will spell disaster for the bearing system.
