Lubrication System

The lubrication system utilizes the same volumetric flow-controlled oil pump as seen on the six-cylinder N52/N54 engine. This type of oil pump offers the same reduction in fuel consumption as on past designs. The main difference on the N63 is that the oil pump is chain driven off of the rear of the engine rather than the front as on previous V-8 engines.
