Yes.
It has always been made of steel or aluminum, but the BMW x4 engine oil pan is made of plastic oil pan. The new plastic oil pan adopts an integrated design, which can eliminate or reduce the number of separately manufactured parts, thereby reducing the production cost of the oil pan.
Traditional steel plate stampings and aluminum alloy die-castings are completed by separate or independent parts. The new plastic oil pan not only has low mold manufacturing costs, but also eliminates the need for shaping and cutting after steel plate stamping. While waiting for mechanical processing processes, the yield rate is improved.
