Engine Oil Sump Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: Adjustable Type
Engine Oil Sump Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: Adjustable Type
This is a worked specification for engine oil sump in a adjustable type programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The adjustable type version exists because the duty cycle on three-wheelers is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Engine Oil Sump |
|---|---|
| Application | Three-Wheelers |
| Version | Adjustable Type |
| Base material | Anodised Aluminium |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | IATF 16949 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Anodised Aluminium, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- CNC machining
- cold forging
- ultrasonic cleaning
- die casting
- precision stamping
- gravity casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run adjustable type most often specify this build for three-wheelers. Related applications include export programmes, aftermarket retail, passenger cars, fleet maintenance, three-wheelers.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the IATF 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
