Suitable for MAN Buses
The MAN 51058015879 oil sump is a critical component of the engine lubrication system. It serves as the reservoir for engine oil, collecting oil from the engine and returning it to the oil pump for recirculation. This particular oil sump is designed for use in MAN engines, ensuring optimal lubrication and cooling. Constructed with robust materials and precise engineering, this oil sump provides reliable performance and extends engine life by maintaining consistent oil pressure and preventing oil contamination. It measures 460 x 290 x 1080 mm and is manufactured in Germany.
Basically, it’s the reservoir for your engine’s oil. It holds the oil at the bottom of the engine, and that’s where the oil pump draws from. It also has passages built into it that help with oil return from various parts of the engine, allowing it to drain back down to be re – circulated. It’s not just a container, though. It often incorporates baffles inside to prevent the oil from sloshing around too much during cornering or braking – keeps it available for the pump when you need it.
Think of it as the base of your engine’s lubrication system. Everything relies on that oil being available and at the right level. It's bolted directly to the bottom of the engine block, so it takes a beating from road debris and is pretty exposed. It's a key part of keeping everything running smoothly, and it works with the oil pump, oil filter and all the passages throughout the engine.
Well, without it, your engine would quickly seize up. The oil keeps all the moving parts lubricated, cools them, and even helps seal them. The sump ensures there’s always enough oil available for the pump. If the sump gets damaged – a leak, a crack, anything like that – you’ll quickly lose oil pressure. You’ll notice if that happens—a warning light will come on, and you might hear some pretty nasty noises. Ignoring it can lead to serious engine damage, and repairs can be very expensive. You can find replacements pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online have a good selection, and it's often something a skilled DIYer can tackle, but it's definitely something you want to address quickly.
