All the Euro CARBED GTB`s are dry sumped, up to and including 1980. The GTS`S are always wet sumped, also the Euro versions. |

I think only the earliest Euro 308s were dry sump. |

348,355 and 360's are all dry sumped, i'm sure the F40, F50 and Enzo would be too.
I beleive most of the 308's were as well? but the 328 was wet sump, presumably they found an adequate way to baffle the sump to prevent surge |

"Was wandering what are the advantages and disadvantages of a dry sump oil system."
Advantages:
Engine sit lower in car->lower center of gravity
Engine is not starved for oil in long high G-force corners
Engine makes more power from lower crankcase pressure
oil cooler attached to sump->cooler oil->better lubrication
Oil is de-aireated->better lubrication
More oil->better tollerance for high load operation
Disadvanteges:
2 oil pumps
more oil->cost to change |

search -- "dry wet sump" (and mode) -- 1st hit is a good reference. |

The Mondial t is the first car that I have owned that has a dry sump oil system. Was going to change the oil soon. Was surprised to read that it takes something like 3 or 5 gallons of oil (do not have the manual with me).
Was wandering what are the advantages and disadvantages of a dry sump oil system.
Also do later cars like the 355 and 360 have dry sump?
How about the 40, 50, or Enzo?
I was wandering if the dry sump gives better cooling of the engine or a larger reserve for endurance racing. |
