The oil shield blocks the oil spattered from the interbank valley so that flying of the oil to the turbocharger from the interbank valley is prevented. The oil shield may be an oil shielding plate. The oil shielding plate includes a cover portion covering a lower part of the turbocharger, and a plurality of extensions extending from the cover potion to be mounted on the engine.
