Splash lubrication is a method of lubricating engine parts or machinery in which oil is mechanically splashed onto the moving components by means of the motion of the crankshaft or other rotating parts. This technique is commonly found in small engines, such as those used in motorcycles, lawnmowers, and some older automotive engines. In splash lubrication, the oil is typically contained in a sump or reservoir at the bottom of the engine.
