In dry sump engine, the oil for lubrication is stored in a separate tank and is provided to the piston by the use of multiple vacuum pumps and rails. This allows for lighter lubrication system and this system performs better in racetrack conditions. Even formula 1 cars use this system to lubricate their engines.
The wet sump system uses the base of the crankcase as a reservoir for oil storage. This oil is actively transported to the top and then fed to the piston bearings. This pump is simple in design and is used by most of the commuter cars. It has a simpler design, uses a single pump and performs well under everyday road conditions.
