449.01.0012 Mercedes-Benz Oil Sump

What does an oil sump do?

This oil sump acts as the primary reservoir for engine oil, playing a vital role in the lubrication and cooling of the engine's moving parts. By collecting oil at the lowest point of the engine block, it ensures a steady supply is available for the pump to circulate, reducing friction and preventing overheating during heavy-duty operations.

Compatible Mercedes-Benz models and engines

This component is specifically engineered to fit Mercedes-Benz ACTROS MP2 / MP3 series and various ACTROS models. It is compatible with OM 501 LA, OM 501 LA.III, and OM 501 LA.III/9 engines. This ensures precise fitment for diverse configurations including 1848, 2546, and 3240 variants within the heavy commercial vehicle segment.

Installation and maintenance guidance

For professional workshop technicians, ensuring a leak-free installation is critical. The sump must be mounted securely to the engine block using an appropriate gasket to maintain pressure balance and prevent contamination from road debris or water. Regular inspection of the mounting points and breather channels is recommended during routine maintenance intervals.

System protection and durability

Maintaining optimal oil circulation helps prevent internal pressure buildup and protects the underside of the engine from external damage. Consult your authorized distributor to ensure exact fitment for your specific engine series.
