The original Piaggio oil sump, part number B013437, is a component of the engine crankcase used in various Piaggio four-stroke engines with displacements ranging from 125 to 200 cc. It closes off the lower section of the engine and forms the oil reservoir where the engine oil collects. The oil sump is designed for corresponding engines from the IGET and LEM series and is used in numerous Vespa GTS, Primavera, Sprint and 946 models, as well as other Piaggio and Aprilia vehicles.
As a genuine Piaggio replacement part, the oil sump corresponds to the original production specification. It is suitable for replacing a damaged, distorted or leaking oil sump, provided the vehicle was originally equipped with component B013437.
The oil sump forms the lower closure of the engine crankcase and is part of the engine lubrication system. During engine operation, the lubricating oil returns to the lower section of the engine after supplying the moving engine components. It collects in the sump, where it is available to be circulated again by the oil pump.
The shape of the oil sump is adapted to the structural requirements of the corresponding Piaggio engines. Its interior features differently shaped sections and reinforcements. The elongated outer housing incorporates several continuous ribs and integrated mounting points.
The oil sump is manufactured as a cast metal component. Its silver-grey surface displays the characteristic texture of untreated cast areas, while the surrounding sealing surface and the necessary mounting holes are machined.
Using a genuine replacement part is particularly beneficial for crankcase components where the shape of the sealing surface and the positioning of the mounting holes are essential. Oil sump B013437 corresponds to the original design and is intended for the specified engine variants.
The ribs arranged along the sides form part of the housing construction. They reinforce the outer wall while also increasing the external surface area. The integrated mounting lugs allow the sump to be bolted to the engine crankcase.
The inside reveals the cast housing contours, the mounting points and the continuous, precision-machined sealing surface. The original part number B013437 is marked or cast into the component for identification.
The oil sump is used in various Piaggio four-stroke engines from the IGET and LEM series. These include corresponding air-cooled AC engines and liquid-cooled LC engines with displacements ranging from 125 to 200 cc.
These engine families are used in different vehicle models and generations. Therefore, the correct oil sump cannot be identified solely by engine displacement or the IGET or LEM designation. Compatibility must be determined using the specific engine version and the original Piaggio part number.
Vehicles with the same model name may use different crankcases and oil sumps depending on the year of manufacture, engine identification code and version.
The vehicle list includes different model generations and engine variants. Compatibility requires that the original Piaggio oil sump B013437 is specified for the particular vehicle. Before ordering, the vehicle details, engine identification code and original part number must be checked against the appropriate spare parts catalogue.
A separate gasket is used between the oil sump and the engine crankcase. The corresponding genuine Piaggio oil sump gasket has part number B014152. When replacing the oil sump, the gasket should always be renewed to ensure reliable sealing of the connection.
Before installation, the sealing surfaces of the engine crankcase must be thoroughly cleaned and inspected for damage. All remnants of the old gasket must be completely removed. The new oil sump must sit against the crankcase without mechanical stress. The mounting bolts must be tightened in the sequence specified by the vehicle manufacturer and to the prescribed tightening torque.
After installation, the engine must be filled with the specified quantity and grade of engine oil. The connection must then be checked for leaks, and the oil level must be verified according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Before installation, check whether oil sump gasket B014152 and any other necessary mounting components are included in the scope of delivery.
The genuine Piaggio oil sump B013437 is a suitable replacement solution for repairing the corresponding IGET and LEM engines. It restores the original crankcase configuration and allows a damaged or leaking oil sump to be replaced correctly without modifying the original engine construction.
