Dry sump oil tank assembly for a vehicle

A dry sump oil tank assembly for a vehicle comprising:

• a housing having a generally noncylindrical upper housing portion, a generally cylindrical middle housing portion, and a generally cylindrical lower housing portion therebetween;
• wherein the upper housing portion extends laterally outward further than the middle and lower housing portions such that the housing defines an internal cavity with an extended lateral volume in the upper portion;
• a first annular baffle connected within the upper housing portion;
• a second baffle secured to the middle housing portion;
• wherein the second baffle has openings arranged in concentric circles about a center of the baffle;
• and wherein the first annular baffle and the second baffle minimize sloshing of oil out of the lower housing portion.

A dry sump oil tank assembly comprising:

• a lower housing portion configured with an oil inlet;
• wherein the lower housing portion is configured to retain oil received via the oil inlet therewithin;
• a connecting hose;
• an air separator configured for separating entrained air from the oil;
• wherein the connecting hose is operatively connected to the lower housing portion and to the air separator for routing the oil from the lower housing portion to the air separator;
• wherein the air separator is further configured for separating oil from a positive crankcase ventilation system and for mounting an oil level measuring device;
• an upper housing portion operatively connected between the air separator and the lower housing portion;
• wherein the connected lower and upper housing portions and the air separator at least partially define an elongated internal cavity;
• wherein the oil inlet is on a lateral portion of the lower housing portion;
• and wherein the upper housing portion extends laterally outward further than the lower housing portion and the air separator such that the elongated internal cavity has extended lateral volume.
