Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / September 2005what is sump oil for?
as i understand, sump oil sits at the bottom of the engines cyclinder, where the crankshaft and so forth is spinning around under the piston. what is the sump oil for? is it a purely lubricating fluid? to prevent overheating of the engine parts? cheers no worries. i found it on howstuffworks.com apparently it does lubraicate. gets collected at the bottom, passed around and is squirted into the cylinders to keep things smooth. >as i understand, sump oil sits at the bottom of the engines cyclinder, >where the crankshaft and so forth is spinning around under the piston. >what is the sump oil for? is it a purely lubricating fluid? to prevent >overheating of the engine parts? cheers It's the place you put the french fries to cook them. If you get stranded out in the "sticks" and can not drive the car, take that bag of frozen french fries that you just purchased at the grocer and place them in the engine sump. Start the engine and the fries will cook in the oil. Many stranded victims have survived out in the wilderness this way.
