Aeronca Oil Sumps This article covers oil sumps used on post war Aeronca Champs and Chiefs. Some Aeroncas may be flying with the wrong oil sump and dip sticks. Aeronca owners may not realize that there is a wide variety Continental oil sump and dip sticks, but only a few of those are specified for Aeronca airplanes. This mistake often occurs during an engine upgrade or engine swap. Aeronca, not Continental, specifies which oil sump is authorized for Aeronca airplanes. And just as confusing is the oil dip stick, which has just as many varieties, but only a few that are correct for your Aeronca. This article will clarify the facts about oil sumps and oil dip sticks, explain how to identify them, show which are the correct ones for your Aeronca, and provide you tips on maintaining and repairing them.
