A turbine engine including a turbo-engine, a gearbox assembly, a propulsor, and a lubrication system. The turbo-engine includes a compressor section, a combustor, a turbine section, and an input shaft. The gearbox assembly includes a first gear, a plurality of second gears, and a third gear. The propulsor has an output shaft drivingly coupled to the input shaft through the gear assembly. The lubrication system is characterized by a Gearbox Lubrication System Parameter (GLSP) between 0.2 and 140 when a mass flow rate of the lubricant is linear with a lubricant pump speed, where the GLSP is given by: The GLSP is between 0.2 and 70 when the mass flow rate of the lubricant is modulated, where the GLSP is given by:
