Oil Pan
The oil pan is made of die cast aluminum with baffles. This is so that the oil does not splash excessively. Liquid gasket creates a seal between the cylinder block and the oil sump.
The oil pan is designed to reduce mechanical noise from the engine, at the same time as providing a reliable supply of oil at different angles. A composite oil scraper keeps the larger section of the oil volume away from the rotating crankshaft. It minimizes power loss, improves fuel economy and prevents the oil from foaming.
The oil suction line, which runs from the oil pan, is made of plastic. The oil pan is equipped with an oil level sensor.
The oil pan contributes to the rigid design and operates as an extra reinforcement of the cylinder block.
