Abstract
A method for operating a combustion engine having a crankcase, a piston group and a crankshaft, wherein the crankcase has an oil reservoir and an operational amount of lubricating oil is provided, wherein i) a partial amount of the lubricating oil is continuously discharged from the crankshaft and ii) a refill amount of new lubricating oil is continuously supplied, so that the operational amount of lubricating oil remains essentially the same; as well as a combustion engine for carrying out the method.
