Publication number: 20220074483Abstract: An oil management system for a vehicle includes a differential housing, a transmission housing, a lubricant tank, a suction line, a lubricant pump, and an air suction pump. The transmission housing is connected to the differential housing in an air-tight manner, and a lubricant through-passage is defined between the transmission housing and the differential housing.
