The sump in a dry-sump system is not ...

    [c] These are supplementary pumps and do not replace the main, mechanical, oil pump. Electric pump as a main engine pump again will require big electric motors and it may be simply cheaper to drive directly from the engine. For e.g. BMW S65 engine's oil pump delivers ca. 45 LPM (Litres Per Minute) of oil at 5.5 bar pressure. [5]
