This document discusses different types of engine lubrication systems. It describes wet sump lubrication systems, which use oil stored in a sump at the bottom of the engine that is pumped to parts. Within wet sump systems it describes splash, semi-pressure, and full-pressure lubrication. It also describes dry sump systems, which have an external oil tank instead of a sump. The key functions of lubrication systems are reducing friction and wear, minimizing power loss, cooling, cushioning shocks, cleaning, and sealing.
