Summary:

An oil pan may be a simple auto component with an uncomplicated function. Nevertheless, it is vital for the proper operation of engine parts. This component is usually made of thin sheet steel or cast alloy, although there are also high-performance oil pans that are made from billet aluminum or magnesium alloy [1]. Nowadays Automobile part manufacturers are manufacturing new generation plastic oil pans to reduce weight and manufacturing cost with same performance as of metal pan. This Reduction is beneficial in making car lighter and cheaper.This report talks about Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis for plastic oil pans in comparison with sheet metal oil pans. Along with this, oil pan design improvements/optimizations based on CFD Analysis Results are also discussed
