Gearbox Sump / Oil Pan

Aluminium PDK Oil Sump with Replaceable Oil Filter - Engineered for Strength, Longevity & Serviceability
The Aluminium PDK Oil Sump with Replaceable Oil Filter is a premium upgrade designed to replace the standard composite transmission pan found in many high-performance vehicles. Crafted from high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminium, it provides superior durability, improved cooling, and easier servicing — while maintaining exact fitment and compatibility with the original transmission system.
Unlike traditional designs that require the entire pan to be replaced during service, this sump features a replaceable oil filter, reducing long-term maintenance costs and environmental waste.

Perfect for Porsche owners and enthusiasts seeking performance, precision, and practicality.

The PDK oil sump plays a critical role in the operation of your dual-clutch transmission system. It houses the transmission fluid and filter, which together:

• Lubricate internal components to reduce wear and friction.
  
• Regulate temperature by dispersing heat generated during gear shifts.
  
• Filter debris and metal particles, ensuring clean fluid circulation.
  
• Maintain hydraulic pressure stability for smooth and consistent gear engagement.

This aluminium replacement sump provides a warp-free sealing surface, optimal thermal conductivity, and OE-fit dimensions for a simple bolt-on installation.

Why PDK Oil Sumps Fail
The standard composite (plastic) transmission pans found in many performance cars are susceptible to:

• Warping from heat cycles, leading to fluid leaks and improper sealing.
  
• Cracking or distortion caused by torque stress or road debris impact.
  
• Thread wear from repeated fluid services.
  
• Built-in non-replaceable filters, requiring complete pan replacement during each service.

Additionally, neglecting transmission fluid changes can cause:

• Poor shifting performance or hesitation.
• Overheating and accelerated clutch wear.
• Contaminant buildup, leading to internal component damage.

By upgrading to a durable aluminium sump with a replaceable filter, you eliminate the weaknesses of the standard design and ensure consistent reliability.

Why It Should Be Replaced or Upgraded
Replacing or upgrading to the aluminium PDK oil sump provides measurable benefits in performance, reliability, and maintenance:

• Serviceable Filter Design – Unlike the standard setup, you can replace the filter independently, saving time and cost during fluid changes.
  
• Long-Term Durability – Made from high-strength alloy aluminium, offering resistance to warping, cracking, and corrosion.
  
• Guaranteed Fitment – Manufactured to precise OE pan dimensions for correct clearances and easy installation.
  
• Enhanced Heat Dissipation – Aluminium dissipates heat more efficiently than plastic, extending fluid and component life.
  
• Extended Transmission Life – Protects against contamination and wear for smoother shifting and reduced long-term wear.

Every unit undergoes quality control at each step of production, ensuring the highest level of precision, sealing integrity, and performance reliability.
