At the bottom of the crankcase is the container containing the
lifeblood of the engine. Usually constructed of thin steel, it
collects the oil as it flows down from the sides of the crankcase.
The pan is shaped into a deeper section, where the oil pump is
located. At the bottom of the pan is the drain plug, which is used to
drain the oil. The plug is often made with a magnet in it, which
collects metal fragments from the oil.
