OIL PAN CONSTRUCTION [13B-MSP]
id0111e4100400
• The oil pan consists of a thinner, steel type oil pan and an aluminum oil pan upper block. With the shape of the oil pan upper block projecting towards the vehicle right side, oil capacity has been increased, stabilizing the oil pressure during cornering even at lower oil levels.
• The oil baffle plates have been adopted inside the oil pan upper block to stabilize engine oil slosh or aeration when the vehicle rolls and to prevent air suction in the oil strainer.
• An oil level switch, equipped inside the oil pan upper block, operates a warning if the oil level is lowered to a certain level. (The warning buzzer sounds and the warning light in the instrument cluster flashes. Afterwards, the warning buzzer stops and the warning light switches from flashing to continuous illumination.)
• A silicon sealant with excellent sealing qualities has been adopted.
