Abstract
A fluid system includes a housing having a valve bore, a fluid supply conduit, and a valve positioned in the valve bore and defining a valve axis. The valve has a first outer sealing surface, a second outer sealing surface, and an inner surface forming a fluid passage extending between a fluid inlet fluidly connected to the fluid supply conduit, and at least one fluid outlet spaced axially from the first outer sealing surface and the second outer sealing surface. A thermoactuator is coupled to the valve and exposed to a flow of fluid from the fluid supply conduit. The working fluid in the fluid system may include engine oil.
