About Oil Sump Pans
Oil is crucial for lubricating the moving components of the engine so they last longer and perform better while also functioning to act as a heat absorber, helping to keep the engine cool. The Peugeot oil sump pan is an oil tray or tank located at the bottom of the engine. The oil sump pan stores oil, basically acting as a reservoir and collection/storage point for the returning oil once it has been pumped through the engine, before it goes off on its cycle again.
Situated at the bottom of the engine, and sealed with an oil sump gasket, the oil sump pan stores the oil which is pumped around the engine by the oil pump.
The oil pump is often positioned low to enable it to reach the oil in the oil sump pan. A short hose or pipe with a mesh strainer enables the pump to collect oil from the bottom of the oil sump pan. The oil will pass through an oil filter to clean it from any impurities before it is pumped back through the engine. Oil sump pans operate on either a wet or dry sump oiling system, but the wet oil sump is more common. Aluminium is a popular choice for oil sumps. The material, design, size and type of oil sump pan will vary from car to car.
A cracked or split oil sump pan will leak oil and will need to be fixed, if not too badly damaged, or replaced with a new oil sump pan. When replacing this part, ensure you fit an oil sump pan that's compatible with your car by buying a good quality Peugeot oil sump pan.
Peugeot trivia
- It was Armand Peugeot who turned the company into car manufacturing. He called the company the Société des Automobiles Peugeot (Peugeot Automotive Society) and was the one who approved the famous lion emblem that is still used today.
- Peugeot has won the European Car of the Year an incredible five times. The earliest win was in 1969, and the latest was as recently as 2017 (the Peugeot 3008).
- Peugeot might not be a name in Formula 1 (they did try a few times, but it never quite worked out), but they have been dominant in other races. In particular, four victories in an incredible 24 hours at Le Mans, and six impressive wins in the Dakar rally, to name just a few.
- It's a dubious claim to fame, but the first recorded stolen car was a Peugeot! The car, belonging to Baron de Zuylen, was nicked by his mechanic in 1896, but the thief was caught, and the car returned to its rightful owner.
- Peugeots, especially the 504, are incredibly popular in Africa and have been affectionately called Africa's workhorse. The 504 is a model that seems particularly well-suited to the rough terrains of Kenya and Ghana.
