Oil Sumps are a key part of the engine lubrication system on a truck, lorry or HGV. Fitted to the lower section of the engine, the oil sump, also known as an oil pan or lower crankcase on some applications, stores engine oil before it is circulated through the engine by the oil pump. On a heavy commercial vehicle, this component must cope with high mileage, vibration, heat cycles, road spray, underbody contamination and the physical demands of workshop servicing. A damaged or incorrect sump can cause oil leaks, low oil level, poor sealing, clearance problems or incorrect fitment around the chassis and crossmember area.
VRA Truckparts lists used genuine OEM Oil Sumps removed from dismantled commercial vehicles. Current stock in this category is focused on MAN TGX and MAN TGS engine oil sump applications, including Euro 6 examples with OEM and part references such as 51058413019, 51.05841-3019, 51058410027, 51058006406, 51.05800-6406 and 51058015797. Individual listings may describe the part as an engine oil sump, oil pan or lower crankcase depending on the original MAN reference and engine layout. Stock changes as donor trucks are dismantled, so always check the live product listing, photos, OEM numbers and condition notes before ordering.
What you will find in the Oil Sumps categoryThe Oil Sumps category covers used engine sump assemblies and related lower engine oil pan components for commercial vehicle engines. Availability depends on the donor vehicles being dismantled, so the exact range may vary. Each product page should be checked carefully for included fittings, visible condition and any listed part numbers.
The current examples in this Oil Sumps category relate to MAN heavy truck applications, especially MAN TGX and MAN TGS models using Euro 6 engine configurations. These vehicles can have different sump shapes, depths, fixing layouts and reference numbers depending on engine type, chassis specification and production period. A MAN TGX oil sump is not automatically interchangeable with every MAN TGS engine, even where the parts appear visually similar, so matching by OEM number and vehicle details is essential.
Oil Sumps do more than simply hold engine oil. On a truck engine they help maintain the correct oil capacity, support oil return to the pickup area and provide the sealing surface between the lower engine assembly and the sump. The sump shape can also be designed around chassis clearance, steering components, axle position and engine installation angle. If the sump is cracked, distorted, badly corroded or incorrectly matched, the engine can lose oil rapidly or suffer from poor sealing after repair.
For workshops and fleet operators, replacing a damaged sump with the correct used OEM Oil Sumps can be a practical repair option, especially where the vehicle needs a genuine fit around existing pipework, brackets and engine mounting clearances. A correct sump helps protect the engine from oil starvation, prevents recurring leaks and avoids wasting time modifying parts that were never intended for that engine. Because commercial vehicles often work in harsh conditions, sump damage from road impact, grounding, debris or previous repair work is a common reason for replacement.
Typical reasons to replace Oil SumpsOil Sumps are positioned low on the engine and are exposed to road conditions, workshop handling and repeated service work. Even a small defect can become a serious oil loss issue on a vehicle that is working daily.
Choosing the right used Oil Sumps is mainly about matching the original part exactly. Similar looking oil pans can have different depths, bolt patterns, internal clearance, drain plug position, casting shape or external ribbing. Before ordering, compare the listing photos with the sump removed from your vehicle and check all available references.
If you are unsure which Oil Sumps will fit your vehicle, use how to find the right truck part and compatibility and VIN checks before placing an order. Providing the registration, VIN, existing OEM number and clear photos of the old sump helps reduce the risk of ordering a part that looks similar but has a different fitting layout.
Used OEM parts from dismantled trucksVRA Truckparts supplies used genuine OEM truck parts removed from donor commercial vehicles. Oil Sumps listed on the website are removed during the dismantling process, visually checked, cleaned where required for photography and labelled with available references. Product pages may show commercial-use marks such as road grime, oil residue staining, scuffs or normal handling wear, which is expected on used under-engine components.
Where available, listings include details such as the OEM number, alternative MAN reference, vehicle model, Euro standard and condition grade. Some examples have been removed from running vehicles and checked before dismantling, but buyers should rely on the specific wording in each listing rather than assuming all used Oil Sumps have the same inspection history. You can read more about our dismantling and quality process for used OEM truck parts.
Related engine parts and buying supportOil Sumps sit within the engines and components area of the truck parts catalogue, so they are often purchased alongside other engine repair items depending on the job. When carrying out lower engine repairs, workshops may also need to inspect the sump gasket or sealant area, oil pickup arrangement, fixing bolts and any related brackets or pipework already fitted to the vehicle. Availability of related parts varies with current dismantling stock.
For help choosing used OEM parts, VRA Truckparts provides practical support pages covering identification, compatibility and ordering checks. Use the guide to finding the right truck part if you are comparing references, or the compatibility and VIN checks page if you need to confirm whether a listed sump is likely to match your vehicle details.
Delivery, payment & returnsOnce you have confirmed the correct Oil Sumps for your truck, review the product page carefully and make sure the condition, included components and part references match your requirements. Information about shipping options is available on delivery and shipping, while payment and VAT information can be found on payment and VAT. Used parts are sold according to their described condition, so it is also worth reading warranty and part condition and returns and refunds before ordering, particularly for trade repair jobs where the vehicle is already stripped down in the workshop.
