Abstract

An oil guidance arrangement for a transmission housing (1) of a vehicle includes at least one annular oil slinger (2) for collecting radially outward flowing oil. A guide area (3) for generating a laminar oil flow is closed in sections and is provided on a circumferential area of the oil slinger (2). A transmission housing (1) includes the oil guidance arrangement. The oil slinger (2) of the oil guidance arrangement is attached to a transmission housing-side centering plate (10) and surrounds a clutch (6). By rotation of the clutch (6), oil is guidable radially outward to the guide area (3) of the oil slinger (2).
