Dorman 264-889 Engine Oil Pan - Lower

OE Fix Aluminum Oil Pan

Dorman 264-889 is a lower engine oil pan replacement for select Volkswagen, Audi, and Seat applications that use a two-piece pan design. It replaces the original plastic lower section with a high-pressure diecast aluminum pan for improved resistance to heat, corrosion, and impact.

Built for a faster, more predictable repair, this oil pan uses a replaceable press-in gasket and minimal sealant for a secure seal. The included magnetic drain plug features an angled mount boss to help promote a more complete oil drain.

Detailed Description

This Dorman OE FIX engine oil pan, part number 264-889, is engineered as a direct lower-pan replacement for vehicles that originally used a plastic lower half paired with an aluminum upper half. Instead of reusing the disposable plastic-style section, this design upgrades the lower pan to aluminum for better durability in daily driving conditions. It is a standard replacement oil pan with 18 mounting holes, a 6-quart capacity, and a painted black finish.

Compatible With select 2013-2024 Audi A3, A3 Quattro, Q2 Quattro, Q3, S3, TT, TT Quattro, and TTS Quattro models, plus 2015-2024 Volkswagen Golf, GTI, Golf Alltrack, Golf R, Golf SportWagen, Beetle, Passat, Tiguan, and Jetta applications that use the lower aluminum pan configuration. This part cross-references Spectra Premium VWP55A for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Oil leaks from a warped or cracked lower oil pan
• Damage caused by road impact to the original plastic pan section
• Repeat failures associated with plastic lower pan designs
• Extended downtime from sealant-heavy repairs
• Poor oil drainage from a standard drain plug setup

Installation Notes

Install on the lower pan position only. The pan is designed to use a minimal amount of sealant and a press-in gasket for sealing. Verify engine application, mounting hole count, and drain thread size before installation. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and follow the vehicle service procedure for sealant cure time and torque sequence.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this OE FIX oil pan to address a known weakness in the original lower plastic pan section by using aluminum construction and a service-friendly sealing design. Part number 264-889 is built for direct replacement use on the listed Audi and Volkswagen applications.
