Lubrication System: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan and 2010 Ford Fusion. 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.
