System Notes — LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The lubrication system covers the oil pump, oil cooler, oil filter base, relief valves, dipstick tube, pan and the galleries that distribute oil to every bearing in the engine. It is the system that keeps metal off metal. Failures tend to be either pressure loss — a worn pump, a stuck relief valve, a collapsed filter — or contamination, where sludge and debris circulate and score bearing surfaces. Oil pressure that reads low at idle, a filter that comes out heavy, or oil that turns dark far sooner than usual are the signals. Parts in this group are replaced on measured oil pressure and lab results rather than on interval alone.
System Notes — SERVICE EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES
This group covers the equipment and consumables used to service the machine rather than to run it: filter wrenches and service tools, drain and fill hardware, grease fittings and couplers, sight gauges, sampling valves, and the small hardware that makes routine maintenance possible without improvising. Items here are replaced when they no longer seal, no longer hold a setting, or when a stripped fitting turns a ten-minute service job into a two-hour one. Keeping the correct part number on hand matters more than the unit price, because a missing grease coupler usually means a missed lube point.
