Direct Oil Feed. Commonly confused with IMSS.
The IMSS is a plain bearing, like in an air cooled Porsche 911 engine.
Bearing rides on oil film.
A ball bearing or roller bearing in the M96/M97 engine does not
require forced oil as the engine is wet sump.
The IMS is submerged in oil - no further lubrication is necessary.
