MAN 51018100052 oil filler pipe

Description

The MAN 51018100052 oil filler pipe is a critical component of the engine lubrication system, designed to safely direct oil into the engine. It is used in MAN engines to replenish the engine oil supply. This part ensures a clean and efficient oil fill, preventing contamination and maintaining optimal engine performance. Manufactured in Germany, this oil filler pipe measures 32 x 48 x 83 mm and provides a secure and reliable connection, contributing to the longevity and efficiency of the engine.

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.
