Accusump - pros & cons

[Rob Petrie E395]

Moroso has a good video on their YouTube channel. That goes into how different air pressures in the accumulator affect how it works. They have a “test stand and show it in real time what’s what. I’d post a link but don’t know how to do that.

One thing nobody has mentioned here (or I missed it). Is in a stocker the way we are limited on oil pan selection (no huge deep pans) and limited on what we are allowed to do to them. And inside them. Getting 1-2 quarts out of the pan and into the accumulator. Keeps the oil lower in the sump. Which could help with windage. But at the same time that oil is still available and ready to go if needed. Verses just running a quart or two low and risking an engine failure.
