Oil Sump

The engine oil sump is structured in two parts. The upper and lower sections of the diecast aluminum oil sump have been optimized with regard to strength and acoustics. A two-part oil deflector also ensures particularly low oil foaming in extreme driving situations. A surge plate ensures that an adequate oil level is achieved in the case of high longitudinal and lateral dynamic forces.

The thermostat for the engine oil cooler as well as the oil filter with an oil filter insert made of synthetic fleece are integrated in the engine oil sump. The lower section of the oil sump contains the oil level sensor that enables electronic oil level measurement. There is no oil dipstick.
