Where is the Dry Sump Tank located on the C7?

One of the advantages of the Dry Sump system is that you can put the oil tank anywhere you want and lower the height of the engine and center of gravity of the car but since the base model isnt a dry sump Im guessing they didnt do that with the C7?

The oil stored in the remote reservoir has to have the discharge hose, located at the bottom, above the second stage oil pump as it is gravity fed, thus the reservoir has to be mounted fairly high. The engine placement in the Corvette is the same whether the engine has the dry sump or not as the depth of the oil pan is the same for both systems. The volume of the dry sump is less then the wet sump even though it is the same depth. The vertical placement of the engine is dictated by the diameter of the flywheel and both the wet sump an the dry sump use the same 14" diameter flywheel.

So WHERE exactly is the dry sump oil tank located?

Talk about not answering a question...Joe, are you in politics or a lawyer...good job with the obfuscating. As to the ops question. I have not seen the car so I do not know where the dry sump is. I would guess similar to the C6 location.

I think he points it out in this video.

I think its in the same place as the C6 but its hidden under a fuse box or something.

JoesC5

Sorry, it's mounted in the same location as with the C6. At the rear of the engine compartment on the passenger side.

It wouldn't be to smart to put a fuse box over the sump seeing you have to fill it when you change the oil.

Kappa

Yup you're right. I checked another picture and its the same as the C6. Its really crammed in that corner. Was hard to see.

MWAZ

Ok. So next question - where did the battery go?

Glenmcp

Rear.
