Oil Guide Housing

Oil Guide Housing

To guarantee a reliable oil supply in all driving situations, the V8 engines in the Panamera S and 4S as well as the Panamera Turbo have an integrated dry-sump lubrication system. The oil pan is designed in two parts and has an upper and lower part. The oil reservoir is in the engine rather than in an external oil tank. This saves space and reduces the weight.

A very flat oil guide housing (upper part of the oil pan) made of magnesium (Panamera S) or aluminum (Panamera 4S, Turbo) was also installed. The oil guide housing for the rear-wheel-drive model allows a further reduction in weight of approx. 4.4 lbs (2 kg).







NOTE: Since the continuous shaft used in the all-wheel version would weaken the housing, this is made of aluminum. As a result, the oil guide housing on the rear-wheel-drive model can be made of magnesium. Both types are bolted with aluminum bolts.
