Saturn Ion Oil Pump keeps engine internals slick and cool by pushing pressurized lubricant through bearings, pistons and the camshaft. The pump draws oil from the sump through a mesh strainer, forces it through the filter, then sends it along galleries where switches or sending units monitor pressure, lighting a dash warning or moving a gauge if flow drops. Over the years the compact Saturn compact car has relied on crank driven variations, and each Ion generation may use one of three main styles. A direct drive Oil Pump circles the crankshaft itself, its gear fixed to the crank end for simple, strong rotation. Gear drive and chain drive versions place the Oil Pump beside the crank, turning it with a matched gear set or sprocket chain that demands periodic inspection for wear. Some engines adopt a crankcase mounted Oil Pump moved by a driveshaft with hex ends that must stay sharp to prevent slip. In every style the Oil Pump needs precise gear clearance and a free relief valve, and a clean pickup screen keep Saturn and Ion powerplants protected at every RPM.
