The oil pan, also known as the lower crankcase, is the lower half of the crankcase. It encloses the crankcase as the outer shell of the oil reservoir, preventing impurities from entering. It also collects and stores lubricating oil that flows back from the engine's friction surfaces, dissipating some of the heat and preventing lubricating oil oxidation. Oil pans are typically stamped from thin steel plates and are equipped with an oil-stabilizing baffle to prevent oil surface oscillation and splashing caused by engine turbulence, thereby facilitating the sedimentation of lubricating oil impurities. A dipstick is mounted on the side for checking the oil level. A drain plug is also located at the lowest point of the oil pan.
