449.03.0008 Detroit Diesel Compatible Oil Sump

What does an oil sump do?

This oil sump serves as the essential oil reservoir at the lowest point of the engine block, ensuring a steady supply of lubricant to critical engine components. Built with heavy-duty grade materials, it supports proper lubrication and cooling to maintain engine health during intensive operation.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This component is compatible with Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines and is fitted to several heavy commercial vehicle models including Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth T800, Peterbilt 379, and Western Star 4900. It also supports International 9400 and Sterling models equipped with these engines.

Installation and maintenance

To ensure a leak-free fit, the sump must be sealed to the engine block using a high-quality gasket. Technicians should inspect the mounting surfaces and the pickup tube connection during every oil change to prevent pressure drops or external leaks.

Troubleshooting and inspection

Regular inspection of the sump helps prevent debris accumulation that could obstruct the oil pickup tube. Selecting a high-strength replacement ensures reliable performance in demanding transport environments.
