ABSTRACT:
An oil supply apparatus for an engine includes an oil pan located beneath the engine to store oil therein, an oil pump mounted in the oil pan to pump the oil stored in the oil pan, and a chain-drive unit mounted between the oil pump and a crankshaft of the engine to transmit a rotating force of the crankshaft to the oil pump. The chain-drive unit is partially immersed in the oil stored in the oil pan. With this configuration, there is no need for separate elements for lubricating the chain-drive unit, whereby the overall structure of the oil supply apparatus can be simplified. This results in a reduction in the number of elements and manufacturing costs.
