Can someone explain the difference between the the front sump oil pan and the rear sump oil pan? If what I'm thinking is right, I have the front sump and why couldn't I use that?
Big Wang Bandit said:Its where the sump is, where a majority of the oil is pooled, and where the oil pan pickup is.
Our cars are rear sump, thus meaning the oil "pool" is closer to the rear of the engine.
tissimo said:you cant use a front sump because thats where the cross memeber sits
H-Dogg said:Also, would any of you know if the upper oil pan you can buy off of toyotapartscheap.com is a rear sump oil pan? The illustration pictures it as a front but that wont work for the supra even tho it says it's for a supra!
