3.5 lubrication

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

Would anyone know where I can find a diagram of the oil lubricating system for my 2013 Edge SEL with 3.5 v6? I'm just curious because after changing oil the other day I removed the oil fill cap while the engine was running and saw a oil feed for the cam . I was wondering if each cam bearing has a oiler or does the oiler somehow lube the whole cam? Hope I made sense with my question.

 

Thanks

Larry

Larry asks a question about a fairly complex system within the 3.5 and WHAM! A color schematic three dimensional breakdown with a detailed description of the complete lubrication system with part numbers no less. Gotta' love this Forum!! Double ++ Happy Good Good to PerfA. :worship:

WWWperfa_ZNOW,

 

Thank you for your quick response and expertise. What I can see the two lube tubes lube the timing chain more than the cams????

After thinking about the lube tubes and the amount of oil that is being pumped through them, if every cam bearing had one there would have to be a 10-12 quart sump instead of 6. As much oil that comes through those tubes there wouldn't be any oil left in the pan to pump. Enough of my jibber japer.

 

Thanks again

Larry
