COMPONENTS
Depending on manufacturer, the oil pan is either glass ber reinforced plastic or aluminum.

pan or an elastomer gasket for the plastic pan. The oil pan seal has high sealing reliability and
noise reduction. In order to determine the engine oil level, there is a conventional oil dipstick.
