An oil tank assembly for a gas turbine engine may include an oil tank having an upper compartment and a lower compartment. A baffle may separate the upper compartment of the oil tank from the lower compartment of the oil tank. A de-aerator may be included, where the de-aerator includes an oil inlet, a de-aerator outlet, and an air vent. The de-aerator may be configured to separate air from oil in an air-oil mixture such that the oil flows through the de-aerator outlet and such that the air flow through the vent. Further, the de-aerator may include a fill port for receiving oil.

The blow-by gas treating device 100 has a main structure portion 101 which separates oil OL from the blow-by gas BG and an outlet portion 40 which supplies gas G having been separated from the blow-by gas BG to an intake system. The main structure portion 101 has a first blow-by gas taking-in portion 111, a second blow-by gas taking-in portion 112, a separating portion 330 which separates the blow-by gas BG into oil OL and gas G, a first oil guiding portion 151 which guides the oil OL to a front side, a second oil guiding portion 152 which guides the oil OL to a rear side, a first oil drain 161 which discharges the oil OL into the engine, and a second oil drain 162 which discharges the oil OL into the engine.

A lubricant pan for a vehicle includes a receiving region in which a lubricant is at least temporarily receivable, a first wall element, and a second wall element. A temperature-control channel is disposed between the first wall element and the second wall element and a temperature-control medium is flowable through the temperature-control channel. A core that is porous and permeable to the temperature-control medium is disposed in the temperature-control channel between the first wall element and the second wall element. The temperature-control medium is introducible into the temperature-control channel via a first connector and the temperature-control medium is dischargable from the temperature-control channel via a second connector.

A storage reservoir for an internal combustion engine is provided that includes a plurality of vents connected to an air compartment that outlets air from the storage reservoir. The storage reservoir can remain vented to supply of lubrication fluid even if the internal combustion engine is inclined due to operation along severe grades.

The present disclosure describes an oil pan structure including a storing portion that stores oil for an internal combustion engine. The storing portion includes a shallow bottom portion, a deep bottom portion deeper than the shallow bottom portion, and a connection surface that connects the shallow bottom portion and the deep bottom portion between the shallow bottom portion and the deep bottom portion. A side wall is formed at a position facing the connection surface with the shallow bottom portion interposed between the side wall and the connection surface. A rib is formed on a back surface of the shallow bottom portion so as to extend from one side or another side of the side wall in a width direction of the shallow bottom portion toward an end portion of the connection surface on an opposite side in the width direction.

A diffuser for an oil drainback system drain tube includes a flow chamber configured for attachment to an open end of a drain tube, wherein the flow chamber has a side wall and an end wall, and openings in at least the side wall.

An oil distribution system uses an oil storage container to contain an air/oil separation unit, a heat exchanger, and an oil reservoir. The functions of oil storage, air/oil separation, and cooling are integrated in the container. Hot aerated oil enters the container at an air/oil separation unit. The air/oil separator deposits hot de-aerated oil into the oil reservoir. The oil reservoir transfers hot de-aerated oil to conduits in a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger uses fuel to cool the oil and warm the fuel. Cooled de-aerated oil is provided to a mechanical device for lubrication and warmed fuel is provided to power an engine. The container may alternatively receive hot aerated oil into the conduits in the heat exchanger. Cooled aerated oil is delivered to the air/oil separation unit to deposit cooled de-aerated oil into the reservoir. Cooled de-aerated oil is pumped to a mechanical device to provide lubrication.

An engine oil lubrication system includes an oil flow control baffle disposed in the sump of the oil pan. The baffle may be detachably mountable in the sump of the oil pan. The baffle may be configured to prevent oil returning to the sump from the engine from short-circuiting and flowing directly to the oil pump intake. The baffle creates a circuitous flow path which forces mixing of the returning oil before being drawn into the oil pump intake nozzle via increasing resonance time of the oil in the sump to enhance cooling. The present disclosure further provides a modular engine mounting system which extends the number of engines and vehicle chassis which can utilize a single oil pan to mount to the chassis. Interchangeable mounting flanges are provided having different bolting patterns compatible with the different chassis.

An oil treatment system for an internal combustion engine in one implementation includes an elongated dipstick tube defining a tube axis and a first flow passageway, a housing arranged on the dipstick tube and defining an internal cavity, an oil treatment apparatus disposed in the internal cavity, and a retainer coupled to the housing. The retainer may have a cylindrical body comprising an elongated first flow protuberance insertably received through the oil treatment apparatus to establish fluid communication between the oil treatment apparatus and the first flow passageway of the dipstick tube. The retainer comprises a cavity through which oil may be added directly to the first flow passageway of the dipstick which may be fluidly coupled to an oil sump of the engine. The oil treatment apparatus may be an oil filter. An oil treatment additive may optionally be added to the housing.
