Abstract
Systems and methods for regulating oil flow to an engine are described herein. An oil pressure target for the engine is determined based on one or more engine operating parameters. Oil flow to the engine is controlled based on the oil pressure target. Closed-loop feedback of oil pressure of the engine is obtained from at least one sensor during the controlling of the oil flow to the engine. A pressure difference between the oil pressure target and the closed-loop feedback of the oil pressure of the engine is determined. The oil flow to the engine is adjusted based on the pressure difference.
