Section 708 (3.6L Engine (Service Information)): Lubrication: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Chrysler 300 and 2019 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The lubrication system is a full flow filtration, pressure feed type lubrication system:
- The oil pump is mounted to the bottom of the cylinder block and chain driven by the crankshaft sprocket
- The oil pump pick-up tube is attached to the oil pump and supported at the windage tray
- There are three oil gallery plugs installed in the engine block
- A system oil pressure sensor allows oil pressure to be monitored with a diagnostic scan tool
- The oil pressure and oil temperature sensors are located on the oil filter housing assembly which is mounted to the top of the engine block between the cylinder heads
- The oil cooler is mounted to the oil filter housing
- There is a pressure relief valve in the oil pump that is only activated on a cold start or for emergency relief since the oil pump output is self-regulating
- There are three piston oil cooler jets mounted to the engine block that cools two pistons each.
