An oil catching system for an internal-combustion engine, particularly for an opposed-cylinder engine, has an oil catching housing arranged below a crankcase. An oil suction space is provided in the oil catching housing from which the lubricating oil is transported by way of a main oil pump equipped with an oil suction pipe to consuming devices. At least one oil collecting space adjoins the oil suction space, in which oil collecting space the lubricating oil coming from the consuming devices is returned by way of an oil pipe. The oil suction space is separated from the oil collecting space by at least one oil separating wall, in which at least one passage opening is arranged which can be controlled by way of a flap, by way of which passage opening the lubricating oil can flow from the oil collecting space into the oil suction space. A wall section is provided which bounds the oil collecting space and is spaced away from the oil separating wall, which wall section, relative to the passage opening in the oil separating wall, extends in a diagonally inclined manner and is used as the flow-off surface for the lubricating oil returned into the oil collecting space.
