Whether you're rebuilding an authentic RSR, restoring a historic race car or maintaining a high-value classic Porsche, this oil tank delivers the quality and accuracy expected from an OE Match component.

What Does the Oil Tank Do?

Unlike a conventional wet sump engine, the Porsche 911 RSR uses a dry sump lubrication system, with the oil tank acting as a separate oil reservoir.

The oil tank stores the engine's oil supply before it is circulated throughout the lubrication system. It also helps separate air from the returning oil, promotes cooling and ensures a consistent oil supply during high cornering, braking and acceleration forces.

A correctly functioning oil tank helps provide:

• Consistent engine oil supply
• Stable oil pressure
• Efficient oil cooling
• Effective oil de-aeration
• Reliable lubrication during high-performance driving
• Long-term engine protection
• Proper operation of the dry sump lubrication system

Why Replace the Oil Tank?

After decades of use, original oil tanks can suffer from corrosion, internal contamination or physical damage that compromises both reliability and engine protection.

Replacement may be necessary due to:

• Internal corrosion
• External rust
• Accident damage
• Fatigue cracking
• Damaged mounting points
• Previous repairs
• Contaminated internal surfaces
• Distorted oil pipe connections
• Oil leaks
• Restoration requirements

Replacing the oil tank during an engine rebuild or vehicle restoration helps ensure the lubrication system performs exactly as intended.

Symptoms of a Damaged Oil Tank

A replacement oil tank should be considered if you notice:

• Oil leaks from the tank
• Corrosion around seams or welds
• Damaged mounting brackets
• Cracked or dented tank body
• Oil contamination
• Loose oil connections
• Persistent oil seepage
• Physical damage following impact
• Signs of previous poor-quality repairs

Any signs of corrosion inside the oil tank should be addressed immediately, as debris can circulate throughout the engine and cause extensive internal damage.
