Oil-Related Engine Codes For Variable Valve Timing Engines
Variable valve timing is becoming a standard system on most late-model engines because it offers higher performance from a smaller displacement engine at higher rpms. Oil plays a larger role in VVT systems. They need engine oil not only for lubrication, but also to actuate the camshafts to change the profile of the lobes.
The Inner Workings of Variable Valve Timing Technology
Variable valve timing (VVT) is a way to advance/retard valve timing, and change duration, overlap and even lift in some applications while the engine is running. VVT is computer-controlled and typically uses oil pressure to change the position of a phaser mechanism on the end of the camshaft to advance or retard cam timing. VVT
Understanding Engine Timing- Chains, Gears and Belts
Engine timing is critical for overall performance.
Timing Chain Systems Need Clean, Quality Oil
Using the wrong oil causes a vehicle’s timing chain to wear quicker.
Plastic Timing Chain Guides
Timing chain guides are designed to wear, but the guides are designed to last the engine’s life.

All About Timing Chains
You’ve probably noticed that a chain rather than a belt drives the camshaft. Why is this the case?
