Which feature directs oil to the pinion bearings?

  • A.A wick
  • B.The differential cage, which throws the oil outward and therefore reaches every component within the casing
  • C.A trough and gallery cast into the housing
  • D.A pump driven from the pinion shaft, which circulates the oil through a filter and back to the bearings above

Answer: C

Oil thrown from the crown wheel is caught in a trough and led along a cast gallery to the pinion bearings. A pump is used only on heavy duty units. Blocking the gallery during a rebuild with sealant is a classic and expensive mistake. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion.
