Lubrication System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The engine lubrication system is of the force-feed type in which oil is supplied under full pressure to the crankshaft, connecting rod bearings and timing chain tensioners. The flow of oil to the valve tappets and valve train is controlled by a restricting orifice located in the head gaskets.
