The lubricating oil filters have “spin-on” type re-
placeable filter inserts.
The high capacity of the oil pump places greater de-
mands for greater lube oil filtration. It is for this reason
that the engines have two full-flow oil filters (direct oil
filters and no by-pass filter). The full-flow filters are
coupled in parallel for best filtration.

The oil pump is of the gear type and has three pump
units. The front unit functions as an oil delivery pump
and the other two as scavenging pumps. They all pump
the oil back to the oil tank via the oil cooler. The oil
pumps are gear-driven from the crankshaft via an inter-
mediate drive gear.
