Oil Sumps

The oil pan is one of the key elements of the engine lubrication system. It is a reservoir for engine oil, which lubricates, cools and protects engine components from wear. A properly designed and tight oil pan ensures the correct operation of the lubrication system, and its technical condition has a direct impact on the life and efficiency of the drive unit. In the Global Parts automotive store you will find a wide selection of used car parts , including oil pans fitted to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and others.

What is the role of the oil pan?

The oil pan is not only a tank for oil, but also an important element of the lubrication system:

• Oil Storage – The oil pan collects oil that is pumped by the oil pump to key engine components.
• Heat Transfer – Helps cool the oil, preventing it from overheating while the engine is running.
• Lower Engine Seal – Protects against oil leaks and external contamination.
• Drain plug mounting location – Makes changing the engine oil easier during maintenance.

Oil pans are made of durable materials such as aluminum or steel, which ensure durability and resistance to damage.

Why is it worth taking care of the oil pan?

The technical condition of the oil pan is crucial for the proper operation of the engine. Neglecting this element can lead to:

• Oil leaks – Cause loss of lubrication, which can cause serious engine damage.
• Oil overheating – Due to damage or contamination that impedes heat dissipation.
• Mechanical damage – Caused by impacts, e.g. against obstacles on the road.

At Global Parts we offer original used oil pans , which have undergone detailed quality tests, guaranteeing their tightness and durability.

How to choose the right oil pan?

When choosing an oil pan, there are several key aspects to consider:

• Vehicle Model Matching – Every engine has specific design requirements. At Global Parts you will find oil pans that perfectly fit BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and more.
• Technical condition – The used oil pan should be free from cracks, corrosion and other damage.
• Material of construction – Choose a pan made of the appropriate material (steel or aluminum) adapted to the operating conditions of your vehicle.

Why choose used oil pans?

• Lower costs – Used components are much cheaper than new ones, but offer equally high quality.
