The Oil Pan is the primary storage unit of oil located underneath the engine. It is responsible for ensuring that the engine's internal moving parts are continuously lubricated and avoiding any oil leaks. Designed for a system using a wet sump for lubrication, the Oil Pan collects oil after it drains from the engine. The oil pump picks it up from this collection and sends it through bearings and other contact surfaces. The Oil Pan is bolted directly to the lower edge of the crankcase. Its sealed design protects oil from leaking out of the lubrication circuit. The engine is slightly raised to accommodate the oil sump due to the projection of the Oil Pan below the crankshaft. The internal design and the baffles help limit the oil slosh, which will uncover the pump pickup when hard cornering occurs. The Oil Pan reservoir serves a dual purpose, including heat dissipation of the oil and attenuation of the noise. The Nissan powerplant is safeguarded by this key element, which helps ensure solid Nissan performance across every Xterra and a long service life of the Xterra engine. Xterra owners have come to appreciate the signature Nissan construction quality.
