摘要

Device for regulating the oil temperature of a combustion engine in which one or more separating walls divide an oil sump into at least two chambers. At least one blocking unit or valve is positioned in the wall so that it can be opened or closed by an actuator. The actuator is commanded by an engine or gearbox control unit (13) that commands opening or closing of the valve according to engine operating conditions, e.g. temperature. An Independent claim is made for a method for controlling a valve for shutting or opening an access between compartments of an oil sump.
