aFe POWER Street Series Raw Engine Oil Pan

2005–2019 Volkswagen 1.8L/2.0L

Part #: 46-71240A

Overview

The aFe POWER Street Series Raw Engine Oil Pan is designed to enhance the performance and durability of your Volkswagen's engine. Crafted specifically for models from 2005 to 2019 with 1.8L or 2.0L engines, this oil pan offers a reliable upgrade over the stock component. Whether you're a daily driver, a performance enthusiast, or someone seeking improved engine cooling and protection, this oil pan provides a practical solution to support your vehicle's needs.

Built with high-quality materials and innovative features, the aFe STREET Series Oil Pan helps ensure your engine maintains optimal oil temperature and flow during demanding driving conditions. Its increased oil capacity of approximately one quart over the factory pan allows for better lubrication and longer intervals between oil changes, especially during spirited driving or extended highway use. The integrated fins transfer heat from the oil to the outside air, helping to keep your engine cooler and reducing the risk of overheating during intense driving sessions.

Key Features

The aFe POWER Street Series Raw Engine Oil Pan is engineered with performance and durability in mind, incorporating several advanced features:

• Constructed Out of Durable Cast Aluminum: The high-strength cast aluminum housing provides excellent heat dissipation, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity, ensuring long-lasting performance under demanding conditions.
• Built-in Internal and External Fins: These fins facilitate efficient heat transfer from the oil to the surrounding air, helping to maintain optimal oil temperature and prevent overheating during extended or aggressive driving.
• Increased Oil Capacity: Adds approximately one quart over the stock oil pan, supporting better lubrication, reduced oil starvation risk, and improved engine longevity.
• Neodymium Magnetic Drain Plug: Equipped with a powerful magnetic drain plug, this feature captures loose metal particles and debris from the oil, providing maximum protection for your engine's internal components and aiding in early detection of wear or damage.
• Includes RTV Silicone Gasket: The included RTV silicone ensures a secure, leak-free seal during installation, simplifying the process and enhancing reliability.
• Precision Machined Fins & Finish: The machined fins are designed for optimal heat transfer efficiency, while the overall finish ensures a perfect fit and easy installation.

Construction & Design

The aFe POWER Street Series Oil Pan is meticulously crafted from high-quality cast aluminum, offering a lightweight yet robust structure capable of withstanding the rigors of daily driving and performance applications. The internal and external fins are precisely machined to maximize surface area for heat dissipation, effectively transferring heat away from the oil to maintain stable operating temperatures. The design incorporates a magnetic drain plug made from neodymium magnets, which attract and capture ferrous particles, helping to keep your engine oil clean and prolonging engine life.

The increased oil capacity is achieved through a carefully engineered internal volume, providing additional oil reserve for better lubrication and cooling. The pan's shape and mounting flange are designed for a seamless fit with factory mounting points, ensuring straightforward installation without modifications. The included RTV silicone gasket provides a reliable seal, preventing leaks and ensuring the longevity of your engine's oil system.

Installation & Fitment

The aFe POWER Street Series Raw Engine Oil Pan is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory oil pan on compatible Volkswagen 1.8L and 2.0L engines from 2005 to 2019. No cutting, drilling, or complex modifications are required for installation. Basic hand tools and mechanical knowledge are sufficient to complete the swap. The process involves draining the existing oil, removing the stock oil pan, and installing the new unit with the included RTV silicone gasket to ensure a secure, leak-free seal. Proper torque specifications should be followed during installation to prevent leaks and ensure a proper fit.
