Oil Pan Module

This is the first modular plastic oil pan module adopted for passenger cars. It integrates an uppers hell of diecast aluminum and a multifunctional lower shell injection molded from glass-reinforced nylon 6/6.  An integrated windage tray (oil deflector) reduces oil vapor around the crankshaft (improving horsepower 5%), lowers air entrapment in the oil, and decreases friction for longer bearing life. The component is 2.4 lb/1.1 kg lighter and 20-25% less costly than an all-aluminum design and use of integrated oil baffles improves flow and reduces sloshing of oil.
