The world's first plastic oil sump for transmission systems has been made from Bayer's glass fibre-reinforced nylon 6-6 Durethan AKV 35 H2.0. The part will be used in the new BMW 7-Series. Bayer believes the project has demonstrated the basic feasibility of making engine oil sumps from thermoplastic.
