Prometeo Oil Pan for 1.4L Engines

Description

Prometeo Meccanica Oil Pan for 1.4L MultiAir Engine (Fiat/Abarth 500 & 1.4L MultiAir Engines)

Prometeo is pleased to offer to its own loyal customers the increased oil pan designed for Abarth cars but compatible with every 1.4L MultiAir Turbo engine car model. The oil pan allows a 2 liter (~0.53 US gal) extra capacity compared to the standard oil pan.

This Kit Includes:

Oil Pan
Anti-Shaking Internal Bulkhead
Screws
All accessories needed
Amazing anti-corodal filling plug with the indication to the service of an increased lubricant capacity

One of the main problems of a sport motor is the heat. High temperature is the cause of many damages including mechanical parts wear, micro-seizures provoking torque loss, abnormal fuel consumption, oil performance downgrade, etc.

For these reasons, every engine lubricant amount is set by the manufacturer very carefully. Anyway, sometimes you may feel the need to have something more, because you mainly exploit car mechanics in some fanciful situation or in some particular duty condition.

In medium or high performance motors, pan capacity changes from 3.5L (~0.92 US gal) to 10-12L (~2.64 – 3.17 US gal) typical of supercars. In particular cases of the 500 Abarth and Punto Abarth, this value is border line. The Abarth standard oil pan is conceived for stock power, so with higher power usage the stock oil pan could be under dimensioned. In these working conditions, a strong and sudden temperature increase would happen and oil, unable to be cooled down as in a normal duty cycle, would downgrade its characteristics very quickly.

On tuned cars, in the race world and in supercar engines, oil amount is essential to solve high temperature problems. An increased capacity oil pan can dissipate a high quantity of heat and allows an efficient lubrication also in high radius turns driven at fast speed or in last minute braking.

The 500 Abarth, GPA and Punto Evo engines suffer high temperatures; so 2 extra liters guarantee:

Less premature oil degradation, allowing a higher travel between oil changes
Better oil cooling, avoiding dangerous engine overheating
Higher mechanical efficiency
Chance to use a slightly higher level of viscosity; so, in case of heavy duty use such as in race, the oil can put up with thermal stresses, has better efficiency and leaks less from the seals
Better oil cleaning due to higher circulation
Continuous oil draught, due to anti-shaking bulkhead
Maximum heat exchange with outside, due to material selection and pan shape with very sharp fins.
