Technical Information

The engine oil sump is mounted underneath the engine block and acts as the main reservoir for the engine oil.

Its functions include:

* Holding the engine’s lubricating oil

* Collecting oil returning from internal engine components

* Supplying oil to the oil-pump pickup

* Helping dissipate heat from the engine oil

* Sealing the lower section of the engine

* Providing the engine oil drain point

* Protecting the oil pickup and lower engine components

The sump must remain properly sealed because even a relatively small oil leak can eventually reduce the engine oil level.

Engine Lubrication System Information

The sump operates as part of the complete lubrication system together with the:

* Engine oil pump

* Oil pickup / strainer

* Oil filter

* Oil pressure system

* Internal oil galleries

* Oil pressure switch / sensor

* Drain plug and sealing washer

Oil stored in the sump is drawn through the pickup by the oil pump and circulated under pressure throughout the engine.

The oil then drains back into the sump and the process continuously repeats while the engine is running.

Common Reasons for Replacement

An oil sump may require replacement because of:

* Cracked aluminium casing

* Impact damage

* Road or kerb damage

* Damaged drain-plug threads

* Oil leakage

* Distorted sealing surface

* Corrosion

* Previous incorrect installation

* Damage caused during engine removal or repair

* Broken or damaged mounting points

Common Symptoms of a Damaged Oil Sump

Possible symptoms include:

* Engine oil underneath the vehicle

* Visible oil around the sump

* Gradually falling engine oil level

* Oil warning light if the level becomes dangerously low

* Damaged or leaking drain plug

* Oil appearing around the sump-to-engine joint

* Cracks following underbody impact

Important Diagnostic Information

Before replacing the sump, establish exactly where the oil leak originates.

Oil running down the engine can make the sump appear to be leaking when the actual source is higher up.

Also inspect:

* Sump sealing joint

* Drain plug

* Drain-plug sealing washer

* Oil filter housing

* Timing-cover area

* Rocker / cam cover

* Crankshaft seals

* Oil pressure switch

* Oil cooler / filter housing where applicable

Clean the engine thoroughly if necessary before identifying the source of the leak.

Oil Pickup Inspection

When the sump is removed, it is sensible to inspect the oil-pump pickup and strainer.

Check for:

* Sludge

* Carbon deposits

* Metal particles

* Silicone / sealant contamination

* Damaged pickup

* Restricted strainer mesh

Excessive sealant should never be applied during installation because cured sealant entering the sump can potentially restrict the oil pickup.

Installation

Correct installation is important to prevent future oil leakage.

Typical installation involves:

1. Draining the engine oil.

2. Removing components obstructing access where necessary.

3. Removing the original sump.

4. Carefully cleaning the engine mating surface.

5. Removing all traces of old sealant.

6. Inspecting the oil pickup.

7. Checking the replacement sump for damage.

8. Applying the specified sealing compound where required.

9. Installing and tightening the sump correctly.

10. Installing the drain plug and seal.

11. Refilling with the correct specification and quantity of engine oil.

12. Running the engine and checking carefully for leaks.

Do not overtighten the sump mounting bolts or drain plug, particularly because this is an aluminium component.

Programming / Coding

No programming, coding or electronic adaptation is required.

This is a mechanical engine component.

Important Compatibility Note

Please check compatibility carefully before ordering.

Compare:

* OE number 55562729

* Opel number 06 52 032 / 652032

* Vehicle model

* Production year

* Engine capacity

* Exact engine code

* Sump shape

* Bolt-hole pattern

* Oil pickup arrangement

* Drain-plug location

* Sensor openings where applicable

* Original sump against the listing photographs

* VIN / registration-based parts catalogue where possible

Do not order solely because your vehicle has a 1.2 or 1.4 petrol engine.

Different generations and engine families can use different sumps despite having the same engine capacity.

Condition

Genuine Vauxhall / Opel part.

Please inspect all listing photographs carefully for the exact condition and specification of the item supplied.

For a used sump, normal signs of previous use may include:

* Oil residue

* Surface marks

* Scratches

* Dirt

* Staining

* Marks around mounting points

Particular attention should be paid to the sealing face, drain-plug threads, mounting holes and underside of the sump before installation.
