kPa (55 psi), the oil pressure relief valve exhausts excess oil to the sump.
Oil is then directed from the filter to the upper main oil galleries and the valve lifter oil manifold
assembly. Oil from the left upper oil gallery is directed to the crankshaft and camshaft bearings.
Oil that has entered both the upper main oil galleries also pressurizes the valve lifter assemblies
and is then pumped through the pushrods to lubricate the valve rocker arms and valve stems. Oil
returning to the pan is directed by the crankshaft oil deflector. The oil pressure sensor is located
at the top rear of the engine.
With active fuel management activated, the engine control module (ECM) commands the 4
solenoids to open, directing oil through the engine block oil galleries to the intake and exhaust
valve lifters for cylinders 1, 4, 6, and 7. Refer to Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel
Management) System Description.
