Detailed Product Description

The Dorman 264-129 engine oil pan is engineered from steel to withstand the rigors of engine operation while providing a secure reservoir for engine oil. Its baffled design helps minimize oil movement during acceleration, braking, and cornering, ensuring consistent oil supply to the engine.
