OIL:  Describes the liquid that lubricates and cools the moving parts of the engine while  reducing the formation of rust and corrosion of bearings, keeps small particles  in suspension, reduces engine wear and oxidization. 
                       OIL  ADDITIVE: Describes several chemicals that can be added to engine oils to  improve their performance, increasing viscosity at high and low temperatures,  inhibiting corrosion and preventing the formation of oil oxidation.  
                      OIL  BLEED LINE: Describes an external oil line that circumvents the bypass valve to  ensure positive oil return to the compressor when RPM is high or the system  under a low charge.
                      OIL  BLEED PASSAGE: Describes an internal orifice that bypasses the evaporator  pressure regulator to ensure positive oil return to the compressor 
                      OIL  BREATHER: Describes a ventilated cap on an oil filler pipe that allows fumes to  escape from the crankcase. 
                       OIL  BREATHER PIPE: Describes a crankcase breather pipe connected to the crankcase  and suspended slightly above the ground used to remove fumes and pressure from  the engine crankcase. 
                       OIL-COMBINATION  SPLASH AND PRESSURE SYSTEM: Describes an engine oiling system that uses both  pressure and splash oiling to accomplish proper lubrication. 
                      OIL  CONTROL RING: Describes a piston ring designed to scrape oil from the cylinder  wall, designed in a fashion as to allow the oil to pass through the ring and  then through holes or slots in the groove. 
                       OIL  DRAIN PLUG: Describes the large plug that secures the drain hole in the oil pan,  fitted with a gasket to prevent leakage. 
                      OIL  DUCT: Describes a passage through which oil can flow under pressure. 
                       OIL  FILLER CAP: Describes the cap covering the oil filler hole. 
                      OIL-FULL  PRESSURE SYSTEM: Describes an engine oiling system that forces oil into the  engine's moving parts. 
                      OIL  GALLERY: Describes a pipe or drilled passageway in the engine used to carry  engine oil from one area to another. 
                      OIL  PAN: Describes the removable cast alloy metal chamber found at the bottom of  the crankcase into which the oil drains.  
                       OIL  PAN DRAIN PLUG: Describes the bolt that is removed to allow the sump to be  drained. 
                      OIL  PAN GASKET: Describes the gasket fitted between the cylinder block and the oil  pan. 
                       OIL  PAN GUARD: Describes the shield fitted under the engine to protect the oil pan  when driving on uneven roads.
                       OIL  PICK-UP PIPE: Describes a tube that leads from the filter to the oil pan's oil  pump.
                      OIL  PUMP STRAINER: Describes the coarse-mesh metal screen on the bottom of the  pick-up pipe that prevents foreign matter (such as lost washers, nuts and  bolts) from entering the oil pump.
                      OIL  RAIL: Describes the part of the oil ring responsible for maintaining the seal  between the piston and cylinder wall and for the actual "scraping  off" of the oil. 
                     OIL  SLUDGE: Describes the thick deposit of dirt and the products of combustion,  partial combustion and oxidation of the oil that builds up in the oil pan and  elsewhere.
