The Engine Oil Pan (Lower) with OEM reference number 06E103604K is a verified direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles equipped with the 3.0L Supercharged/TFSI and 3.2L V6 engines. This lower oil pan is a critical component of the engine lubriion system, serving as the reservoir that holds engine oil and ensures proper oil circulation to all moving engine parts.

This OE-spec replacement pan is manufactured from high-strength steel with a durable corrosion-resistant coating, making it ideal for withstanding impacts from road debris. As the lowest point in the engine bay, the oil pan is particularly vulnerable to damage from objects on the road.

• Audi 3.0L Supercharged V6 (EA837/EA839) — commonly found in S4, S5, Q5, SQ5, and A6/A7/A8 models
• Audi 3.2L V6 (EA837) — found in A4, A5, A6, Q5 models
• Volkswagen 3.0L V6 (EA837) — found in Touareg Hybrid models

When to replace your oil pan:

• Oil leaks — visible oil puddles under the vehicle or oil residue on the underside
• Cracking — visible cracks in the pan from impact damage
• Drain plug thread damage — stripped or worn threads preventing proper sealing
• Impact damage — the pan has struck a road hazard, curb, or debris
• Corrosion — rust or corrosion compromising the pan's structural integrity

8. Position the new oil pan on the engine block
9. Install and torque all 19 mounting bolts to manufacturer specifiion in the correct sequence
10. Install the new drain plug and torque to specifiion
