    Abstract: The invention relates to an oil system (7) comprising a pump arrangement (11); a first gallery (13) for providing oil to a first engine site (14); a second gallery (15) for providing oil to a second engine site (16); a second gallery flow control device (25) for controlling flow of oil from the pump arrangement (11) to the second gallery (15); control circuitry (5); a first pressure sensor (27) for sensing the oil pressure in the first gallery (13); and a second pressure sensor (29) for sensing the oil pressure in the second gallery (15). The oil system (7) is controllable between: a first state in which the control circuitry (5) controls the second gallery flow control device (25) to an open state, and controls an oil pressure in the second gallery (15) by controlling the pump arrangement (11); and a second state in which the control circuitry (5) controls an oil pressure in the first gallery (13) by controlling the pump arrangement (11), and controls the oil pressure in the second gallery (15) by controlling the second gallery flow control device (25).
