The Oil Pan is a component located at the bottom of the engine that serves as a reservoir for the engine oil. It is typically made of steel or aluminum and is bolted to the bottom of the engine block. The oil pan has an opening to allow for oil to be drained during an oil change, and it also contains an oil pickup tube that draws oil from the pan into the engine's lubrication system. The pan may have baffles or other features to prevent sloshing or ensure proper oil flow. A damaged or leaky oil pan can cause low oil pressure, engine damage, or even catastrophic failure if not addressed promptly.
