Sump

Two kinds of oil pans - one of the aluminum alloy, whereby the overall weight of the vehicle is reduced, and the pallet made of clad steel. To seal the pallet used silicone sealant. Partitions sump stabilize the diffusion of engine oil due to the rotation of the crankshaft and the fluctuations in the level of oil while driving.
