Abarth 3.5 Litre Oil Sump for Fiat 500 F L R and Fiat 126

Abarth aluminum oil sump: maximum performance and cooling

The Abarth Fiat 500 oil sump represents a fundamental upgrade for those wishing to optimize the reliability of their twin-cylinder engine. This component is made entirely of aluminum using the gravity die casting process. Indeed, this production technique guarantees superior dimensional precision compared to traditional sand casting. The sump offers an increased capacity of 3.5 liters. Consequently, the higher oil volume allows for much more efficient thermal management than the small original sheet metal sump. Therefore, the aluminum acts as a natural heat sink, keeping operating temperatures within safe levels.

Anti-microporosity technology and build quality

To ensure an impeccable watertight seal, the sump undergoes an advanced impregnation treatment. This specific process serves to seal the natural microporosity of the cast aluminum. In fact, impregnation prevents any possible oil seepage through the metal walls over time. However, it is important to note that the surface may show slight aesthetic imperfections. Such details are characteristic of artisanal foundry work and do not affect the functionality of the part at all. The base of the sump also features cooling fins designed to increase the heat exchange surface with the outside air.

Technical Specifications:

• Compatibility: Fiat 500 F, L, R models and Fiat 126.

• Material: High-quality gravity die-cast aluminum.

• Capacity: 3.5 Liters (increased compared to standard).

• Treatment: Sealing impregnation against microporosity.

• Advantages: Enhanced oil cooling and larger lubricant reserve.

Why choose an Abarth oversized oil sump?

Installing this Abarth Fiat 500 oil sump means investing in engine longevity, especially for tuned engines or long trips. Thanks to the larger capacity, the oil has more time to cool before recirculating. Furthermore, the raised "ABARTH" lettering on the sides gives a sporty and iconic look to the car's underbody. The internal design is engineered to ensure the oil pickup is always submerged, avoiding pressure drops during cornering. In conclusion, this accessory perfectly combines the aesthetics of historic racing with a technical necessity for every enthusiast.
