EMPI Thin Line Deep Sump - 3.3 Litre

Keep your air-cooled VW engine running cooler and better protected with the EMPI Thin Line 3.5 Quart Oil Sump Kit, designed for all 1200cc–1600cc Type 1 engines. In classic Volkswagen engines, oil performs a double duty—it not only lubricates but also helps dissipate heat from the engine’s internals. During performance upgrades or demanding driving conditions, the standard oil capacity often isn’t enough to maintain optimal temperatures and protection.

The EMPI thin line sump is engineered to increase oil capacity by an additional 3.5 quarts without sacrificing ground clearance, making it the perfect upgrade for lowered cars, performance builds, and daily drivers alike. Its low-profile cast aluminium design ensures maximum strength, excellent heat dissipation, and improved oil circulation for consistent pressure and reduced thermal stress on critical engine components.

This complete kit includes all necessary hardware and three pick-up tube sizes, ensuring compatibility with all VW aircooled engine types from 1200cc to 1600cc. It also accepts all three variations of VW oil screens, allowing you to retain standard maintenance and filtration practices.
