Your engine’s oil pan is a vital component which stores and supplies oil to your engine. While the factory oil pan may provide an adequate supply of oil to your engine under normal driving conditions, the same cannot be said during spirited driving.
The factory TSI oil pan found on the EA888 and EA888.3 engines lack baffling near the oil pickup. As a result, under hard corning and acceleration oil is pushed away from the oil pickup leading to oil starvation. The Wortec oil pan solves this issue in two ways. First, the oil pan increases oil capacity by approximately one liter (7 Liter total). Second, the oil pan incorporates a wall around the oil pickup which insures the oil pick up will always be submerged in oil.
The Wortec oil pan is constructed out of aluminum which is stronger and more durable than the plastic oil pans found on the EA888.3 engines. By constructing the oil pan from aluminum, Wortec was able to incorporate cooling fins into the oil pan design. As a result, heat is dissipated from the engine oil faster leading to lower oil temperatures.
The Wortec oil pan kit also includes a magnetic drain plug, silicone sealant, and a sensor block off plate for vehicles not equipped with an oil level sensor.
