Summary:

Injection molded nylon oil pans for automotive use were tested for impact resistance, oil leakage and bolt torque retention. Impact testing indicates an oil pan fabricated of non-glass filled nylon resin can withstand greater impacts than oil pans constructed of glass reinforced nylon. The impact resistance of nylon pans in a real world environment remains questionable. Test results also demonstrate, during engine operation in a vehicle, that there is no significant difference between nylon and metal oil pans in oil leakage, oil operating temperature and bolt torque retention when metal flange supports are used
