Oil pressure regulating valve (Ver. 2): Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The engine has a volume-flow-regulated oil pump. This volume-flow-controlled oil pump only delivers exactly as much oil as each operating range of the engine requires.
For the volume-flow-controlled oil pump, the oil pressure control valve is integrated. The control via a characteristic map influences the oil pressure in the controllable oil chamber. Two valves are involved in the oil-pressure control:
- Oil pressure regulating valve
- Pressure limiting valve (mechanical) as emergency operation
