The purpose of integrated dry-sump lubrication is to guarantee a reliable oil supply while reducing engine temperatures, even in sportily driven cars. The oil reservoir is located inside the engine. Four oil pumps remove the oil from the cylinder heads directly into the oil sump. A fifth pump in the oil sump directly supplies the lubricating points in the engine.

To reduce power loss and increase efficiency, an electronically controlled oil pump supplies the lubricating points inside the engine as and when required. This means that the oil pump does not work so hard when there is less demand for lubrication. The benefits of this oil supply system include optimum efficiency combined with a reduction in both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

For the engine, these detailed solutions mean a consistent supply of oil regardless of gravitational loads, even in the most demanding track conditions.
