Black, precise and uncompromising in design! With the CNC-machined oil sump from TR-Factory, the engine of your Vespa, Piaggio or Aprilia scooter gains an exceptional technical detail. The deep black anodised finish, visible machining patterns and distinctive oil sight glass give this component a unique appearance that perfectly complements premium custom builds. Rather than relying on striking colours, the design focuses on the distinctive shapes created by precision metalworking.
Manufactured from 6061 aluminium, the TR-Factory oil sump combines an elaborate CNC construction with a subtle, sporty appearance. It replaces the original Piaggio oil sump with part number B013437 and is intended for corresponding engines from the IGET and LEM series.
The black finish gives this oil sump its distinctive character. Depending on the lighting, deep black surfaces alternate with subtly shimmering CNC machining marks. This creates an appearance that is technical, premium and deliberately understated at the same time.
The combination of different surface textures is particularly striking. Smooth, gently curved sections meet finely machined surfaces, while several elongated ribs give the design a horizontal structure. The TR-Factory logo, machined directly into the aluminium, emphasises the exclusive origin of the component without visually dominating the design.
This oil sump blends particularly well with scooters featuring black wheels, dark engine components or a consistent blackout styling concept. At the same time, the precisely machined contours ensure that it remains a distinctive feature even on an entirely black scooter.
The integrated oil sight glass forms the technical centrepiece of the visible exterior. It provides an additional way to check the engine oil level visually without first having to remove the oil dipstick.
The circular mounting is secured by three visible hex socket screws. Silver-coloured machined segments and a surrounding contour stand out clearly against the black aluminium. This contrast gives the sight glass a particularly precise, almost instrument-like appearance.
Integrated into the CNC-machined housing, the sight glass becomes an integral part of the design. Its position and elaborately shaped surround combine practical functionality with styling reminiscent of premium motorsport components.
Beyond the visible front section, the oil sump also demonstrates its carefully engineered construction. The underside features large, precisely machined recesses, stepped transitions and several mounting points. The internal contours follow the shape of the housing and reveal the considerable amount of machining involved.
On the exterior, solid housing sections alternate with narrow connecting ribs, sculpted reinforcements and geometric recesses. The result is a distinctive three-dimensional shape in which technical construction and design work together.
The black anodised finish completes the aluminium surface visually. In particular, the combination of dark machined surfaces and bright accents around the sight glass clearly distinguishes this component from a conventional engine oil sump.
The listed vehicle ranges include different engine and equipment variants. Compatibility requires the original Piaggio oil sump with part number B013437. Before ordering, compatibility should be checked against the vehicle details and the original fitted part number.
When replacing the oil sump, the sealing surfaces must be cleaned thoroughly and the required gaskets replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. The original Piaggio oil sump gasket is listed under part number B014152. Whether this gasket or any additional installation components are included in the scope of delivery must be checked before installation.
For reliable oil level inspection, the vehicle must be positioned on level ground and in the position specified by the manufacturer. The engine oil level should be checked under the conditions prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer. The sight glass provides an additional inspection option but does not replace the manufacturer's specifications regarding oil quantity, oil level and maintenance.
Depending on the vehicle model, the transmission cover may partially obstruct the view of the sight glass. Before installation, it should therefore be checked whether the viewing window remains sufficiently visible once fitted. Modifications or a suitable cover may be required.
With the black anodised TR-Factory oil sump, even a normally inconspicuous area of the engine becomes an expression of a carefully considered custom concept. The dark finish, clean CNC lines and contrasting sight glass surround create a style that does not need to be loud to attract attention. A special detail for everyone who wants to personalise their scooter down to the very last screw.
