F150 Owner Bought a Ram Limited.......Dissapointed.

That's a funny drawing. Nothing like how the oil actually flows. The only thing they got right, is that oil flows through a filter.

Looks pretty accurate to me... at least for an old Ford I used to have. Though not sure how much oil coming down the valve guides actually made it into the crankcase despite the worn rings.

It’s for laymen

Exactly. It was meant to explain what hskr was talking about, not to illustrate how engine lubrication works or the benefits of trapping a few ounces of oil.

Anti-drainback valve in the filter helps keeps the oil from draining out of top of engine.

That was the correct answer.

It keeps oil in the upper oil galleys.

It's not accurate at all. The oil is pumped to the crank and cam bearings, to lube them, and the excess oil just flings off, and runs down the block to the pan. It is also pumped into the lifter bores, to pump up the lifters, and also runs down the lifter bores to lube the cam lobes. the lifters pump oil up the push rods, to lube the valve train. The oil returns through oil galleys to the pan. The oil does not go down the bore, to lube the crank, then back up again toward the head to a drain tube.

Like I said. It’s a very basic drawing for laymen. That diagram was to show how the oil filter works, not the oil system.

I'm sorry, there's no rolling eyes emoji, so I had to directly reply to your comment.

I don't know why you would roll your eyes if you thought that was accurate. I should roll my eyes.

Did you even read what I wrote? Just making fun of my old junker Ford. Best 7 cylinder I've ever owned.

I saw your comment about rolling eyes, answering my comment about how the oiling system works.

Ok, nevermind... moving along now.

We’re all in this together Ram brothers. Let’s just agree to somewhat disagree.
