Detailed Description

VAICO V30-2578 is an aftermarket engine oil pan for Mercedes-Benz vehicles using OE reference 2720100128. It is listed for lower-position applications on the Mercedes-Benz C300, C350, CLS550, SL550, E350, E550, SLK300, SLK350, CLK350, CLK550, SLK280, C230, and C280, with one upper-position listing for the 2010-2011 Mercedes-Benz E350. The VAICO product line focuses on OE-style replacement components, and this oil pan follows that approach with sheet-steel construction and a powder-coated finish for service use.

This part cross-references OE numbers 272 010 01 28 and A 272 010 01 28 for the same application. If you are replacing a damaged or leaking Mercedes-Benz oil pan, V30-2578 provides the correct lower-section format for the listed V6 applications.

What This Part Is Used For

• Replacing a cracked or dented Mercedes-Benz engine oil pan
• Repairing oil leaks from the lower sump area
• Restoring proper oil containment after drain plug or pan damage
• Servicing vehicles with corrosion or impact damage to the original pan
• Supporting routine engine oil service on listed Mercedes-Benz models

Installation Notes and Tips

• Confirm the OE reference 2720100128 before ordering.
• Match the vehicle position carefully; most applications are lower-section fitments, while 2010-2011 E350 is listed as upper.
• This part is supplied without an oil pan gasket, so the gasket must be sourced separately.
• Inspect the drain plug sealing surface and mating flange before installation.
• Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to prevent leaks after installation.

Quality Assurance

VAICO supplies OE-style replacement parts for European vehicles, and V30-2578 is built to match the listed Mercedes-Benz applications by OE reference and fitment data. Verify the model, year, and position against the vehicle before installation.
