Detailed Description

Designed for Volkswagen engine applications that require a front-sump aluminum oil pan, the Spectra VWP61A supports proper crankcase oil containment and drainage while matching the original equipment form and function. Its baffled construction helps manage oil movement inside the pan, and the included drain plug simplifies routine service. This part cross-references OE numbers such as 03H103601AD and 03H103601AK for the same application. The Spectra VWP61A is a practical replacement choice for Volkswagen Atlas and Volkswagen Passat service work where correct fitment and OE-style construction matter.

What It Helps Fix

• Cracked or leaking engine oil pan
• Damaged drain threads or stripped drain plug area
• Oil loss from impact or corrosion-related wear
• Poor oil containment from a warped or compromised pan
• Service issues caused by a missing or damaged original pan
