A quantitative one-way oil gas lubricant system and a method for a 4-stroke engine, including a preceding stage quantitative oil intake orifice that is connected to a lubricant case on a wall of a crankcase of the 4-stroke engine, and a final stage quantitative airflow orifice disposed at a cylinder cover of the 4-stroke engine, are provided. A diameter of the preceding stage quantitative oil intake orifice D.sub.1 and a diameter of the final stage quantitative airflow orifice satisfy an equation: D.sub.1/D.sub.3=0.8-1.5, wherein a one-way connected oil gas lubricant channel is disposed between the preceding stage quantitative oil intake orifice and the final stage quantitative airflow orifice. A lubricant oil sucked from the preceding quantitative oil intake orifice by the crankcase flows along the oil gas lubricant channel and lubricates the engine parts that the channel passes through in turns. Finally, a minute quantity of waste oil gas that flows out from the final stage quantitative airflow orifice is introduced into a cylinder of the 4-stroke engine and is to be burned completely. The supply quantity of the lubricant oil may be controlled, and no extra lubricant oil gas may flow out from the final stage quantitative airflow orifice, therefore, the quantitative and one-way lubricating is realized.
