The thermal management system ensures that the engine comes up to its operating temperature rapidly after a cold start—this shortens the phase of elevated friction losses due to viscous oil, and the car’s interior warms up faster as well. The oil pump, with its two-stage control, is designed for energy efficiency. liters (0.11
