ABSTRACT:
An oil reservoir structure for an engine having an oil reservoir chamber attached to the lower end of the cylinder block of the engine. A volume body having a predetermined volume is located in the space defined between the crankshaft of the engine and the normal oil level in the oil reservoir chamber. The volume body becomes submerged upon tilting of the oil level, such as in vehicle turning, acceleration, deceleration or on inclines, to displace a volume of oil to raise the oil level and maintain the oil level above the oil strainer inlet leading to the oil pump. The volume body may be fixedly mounted or disposed on the oil level and vertically movable in response to a change in the oil level.
