Technical characteristics of the lubrication system (Sierra)

            0

Lubrication under pressure is provided by a gear oil pump, driven by the camshaft via an angular gear transmission. The lubrication system has a replaceable filter and an oil cooler.

Oil pump



Gear oil pump rotating at the same speed as the camshaft.

Width of gears
29 mm
Oil pressure (at 80°C):
– at 650 rpm
0.12 MPa
– at 3000 rpm
0.30 MPa

Oil filter



Disposable, replaceable filter.

Make and type: Motorcraft EFL 164 or Purftux LS 127.

Replacement frequency: every 7500 km or once every six months.

Oil pressure sensor



Located in the oil filter holder.

Control lamp ignition pressure: 0.08–0.10 MPa.

Motor oil



Quantity: 5.6 dm³ (of which 0.6 dm³ is the oil filter).

Type: all-season oil in accordance with API SE/CD or ССМС PD1, SAE 15W 40 or 20W 50.

Replacement frequency: every 7500 km or once every six months.

Cooling system



The closed cooling circuit with antifreeze liquid circulating under pressure contains a radiator, expansion tank and coolant pump.

Air is removed from the system automatically after the engine is started.

Radiator



The radiator is made of light alloy with a cross-flow and has tanks made of artificial material.

Type: Motorcraft.

Expansion tank cap



Type: Motorcraft.

Overpressure valve opening pressure: 85–110 kPa.

Coolant pump



The centrifugal coolant pump, located on the front wall of the cylinder block, is driven by a V-belt.



The coolant pump cannot be repaired and must be replaced if it malfunctions.

Rotor diameter: 60 mm.

V-belt



V-belt for pump drive.

Brand and type: Kleber Venuflex XSR 13x1150.

Tension: deflection - 13 mm under 30 N pressure in the middle of the distance between the generator and coolant pump pulleys.

Thermostat



The wax thermostat is located in the same housing as the coolant pump.

Brand: Calorstat.

Opening temperature: 72°C.

Full opening temperature: 81°C.

Minimum valve stroke: 7.5 mm.

Fan



The fan is driven by a V-belt via an electromagnetic clutch, which is activated by a thermal switch located in the radiator.

Number of blades: 8.

Outer diameter of blades: 360 mm.

Thermal fan clutch switch



Located in the right radiator tank.

Temperature:
  • inclusions: 82°C;
  • switch-off: 68°C.

Coolant



Quantity: 9.5 dm³.

Type: special antifreeze liquid Ford SQM97B9103A.

Service interval: check the level every 7500 km (does not require periodic replacement of the coolant).
