Volvo Trucks 23474218 Oil Pan

Description

The Volvo Trucks Oil Pan is a critical component of the engine's lubrication system, serving as a reservoir for engine oil. It is located underneath the engine and plays a vital role in maintaining oil circulation, preventing engine wear, and ensuring optimal performance. This oil pan, manufactured by Volvo Trucks with MPN 23474218, helps to regulate oil temperature and maintain consistent oil pressure throughout the engine. It's designed to provide reliable containment and efficient oil return, contributing to extended engine life and reduced maintenance needs.

Key Features & Benefits

The oil pan basically holds the engine oil. It’s where the oil settles when it drains down from lubricating everything up top. It also has a spot for the oil pump to draw the oil from, and sometimes it includes baffling to help control oil slosh when you're cornering or braking hard. Some also act as a bit of a heat sink, helping to keep the oil cooler. It’s right at the bottom of the engine, so it's pretty fundamental. The engine absolutely depends on having a clean supply of oil, and the oil pan is where it all starts. It’s the reservoir, the base of operations for the entire lubrication system. Think of it like the foundation of a house—if it goes, things get shaky, fast.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without it, your engine would quickly destroy itself. Oil is crucial for reducing friction between all those moving parts. If the oil level gets too low because of a leak in the pan, or the pan itself gets damaged and stops holding oil, you’ll notice if things start making some awful noises pretty quickly. It’s a critical component. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, different materials and for various vehicles, and it’s something you really want to address promptly if you find a leak or damage. Ignoring it can lead to some seriously expensive engine repairs.
