Abstract

An oil guiding housing is arranged below the crankcase of an internal-combustion engine and has a storage tank for lubricating oil and a housing part with a connection for an oil filter. In the pan part of the oil guiding housing situated directly below the crankshaft, a forward flow and return flow part for lubricating oil is integrated. The oil guiding housing ensures a targeted guiding of all lubricating oil flows and provides a good degassing of the oil.
