MAN 51018100049 oil filler pipe

Description

The MAN 51018100049 oil filler pipe is a critical component of the engine lubrication system, responsible for directing oil into the engine's oil reservoir. This part is used in MAN engines to ensure proper oil levels are maintained, contributing to optimal engine performance and longevity. Constructed with precision engineering, this oil filler pipe delivers a secure and reliable connection, preventing leaks and maintaining oil pressure. It measures 43 x 43 x 45 mm and is manufactured in Germany.

Key Features & Benefits

This part is pretty straightforward. It's basically the tube you pour your engine oil into. It guides the oil down into the engine's oil pan, keeping everything lubricated. It also usually has a cap on top to keep dirt and debris from falling in. It’s not complex, but it needs to be solid. Think of it as the entry point for lifeblood to your engine. Without it, you can’t properly maintain oil levels. It connects directly to the valve cover area, where you access it when you do an oil change. It isn’t something you interact with constantly, but it’s essential when you do need to add oil.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s vital because if this pipe cracks or breaks, oil can leak out. You’ll notice if that happens, of course—you’ll see oil on the engine, and your oil pressure light will probably come on. A leak can quickly lead to major engine damage because oil is critical for reducing friction. Plus, if it's badly cracked, it can allow dirt and other contaminants to get into your engine, which is even worse. It’s one of those parts that isn’t expensive to replace, but can save you a lot of money in the long run if you catch a problem early. You can find these pretty easily at places like Fixparts Online, and they’re usually a pretty simple DIY job if you’re comfortable doing basic engine bay work.
