OIL SUMPS

Engineered for Performance and Protection Deep sumps are designed to do more than just hold extra fluid; they are a strategic upgrade for performance-minded builders:

• Prevention of Oil Starvation: During hard cornering, steep inclines, or rapid acceleration—common scenarios for Sand Rails and Dune Buggies—oil can slosh away from the pickup tube. A deep sump ensures the oil pickup remains submerged, providing a constant flow of oil to your bearings.

• Superior Heat Dissipation: Most of our high-capacity sumps are manufactured from heavy-duty cast aluminum with integrated cooling fins. This design acts as a secondary heat sink, pulling heat away from the oil before it is recirculated through the engine.

• Volume Options for Every Build: We stock various sizes, including the popular 1.5-quart and 2.0-quart versions, allowing you to choose the right balance between added capacity and ground clearance.

A Professional-Grade Engine Upgrade Our oil sump kits typically include necessary mounting hardware and oil pickup extensions to ensure a perfect fit. Whether you are building a high-displacement stroker engine or simply want extra peace of mind for your daily driver Beetle, an external oil sump is one of the most effective modifications you can make to your air-cooled powerplant.
