The oil pan is made of pressed aluminum. It has baffles to prevent the oil moving too much. Because of the exterior dimensions of the engine, the oil pan has a unique shape in order to hold the necessary oil volume. The oil pan is made in two parts for manufacturing reasons.

An electric oil level sensor is located in the pan. There is also a normal oil dipstick for manual checks of the oil volume.
