Variable oil pump control uses the oil pressure control valve assembly, engine oil temperature sensor, oil pressure sensor and ECM to optimize the oil pressure and oil volume required by each component to reduce friction by monitoring the engine temperature and engine speed. The oil pressure sensor utilizes a semiconductor type pressure sensor that changes resistance in accordance with changes in pressure. An internal electrical signal that varies with the change in resistance is amplified and sent to the ECM as the engine oil pressure signal.
