ABSTRACT:
An oil pan and windage tray reduce friction loss by separating the oil collection volume of the pan from rotating engine components. A skimmer integral with the tray skims oil from rotating parts and channels oil thrown from the rotating parts into a side pouch of the pan for delivery to the pan collection volume. The skimmer and tray mount to the engine separately from the pan. An alternate embodiment of a dry sump pan has a removable partition between a side pouch and the rotating parts and a skimmer separate from the pan. Separating the skimmer from the pan permits easy adjustment of the space between the skimmer and the rotating parts of the engine without obstruction from the pan.
