What is the oil control valve in a car? What does it do? Where is it located?What does it look like?

That's a new one on me - the oil filter generally has an oil bypass valve to assure oil flow if the filter gets clogged, and the oil pump, located in the oil pan, has a pressure relief valve because it's a positive displacement pump.


There are numerous components, plugs, orifices and critical clearances that play an important role in determining the oil control in an engine - but no specific ';oil control valve'; that I know of.


Perhaps a turbo charged engine may have a control valve of some type to supply oil to the turbo while it spools down after engine shut down. other than that application, I'm at a loss.What is the oil control valve in a car? What does it do? Where is it located?What does it look like?
