Detailed Description

VAICO V40-0324 is an aftermarket engine oil pan engineered for vehicles that match OE number 12637773.

VAICO’s VAICO line focuses on OE-style replacement parts for European and global vehicle platforms, with attention to fit, material selection, and application-specific details. V40-0324 follows that approach with the correct drain plug provision and a direct OE cross-reference for service replacement work.

This part cross-references OE number 12637773 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a damaged or rusted engine oil pan
• Restoring proper engine oil containment after impact or corrosion
• Addressing oil leaks from a cracked or warped pan
• Servicing vehicles with a stripped or damaged drain plug area
• Supporting maintenance on GM small-displacement engine applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm OE number 12637773 and verify the lower-position fitment before installation. This oil pan is supplied without an oil pan gasket, so the gasket must be sourced separately. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly, inspect the drain plug threads, and check for any debris or metal contamination in the sump area before refilling with oil.
