ECS Tuning Stainless Steel Oil Pan - MQB EA888.3 - A3/S3 8V/8.5V MK7/7.5 GTI/R

Protect your engine with confidence using the ECS Tuning Stainless Steel Oil Pan Kit for MQB EA888 Gen 3 engines. Designed as a direct replacement for the factory plastic oil pan, this heavy-duty upgrade provides superior impact resistance, increased oil capacity, and improved oil control without sacrificing ground clearance.

Constructed from 11-gauge (1/8") T304 stainless steel, the pan is fully TIG welded and pressure tested to ensure a leak-free seal. The mounting flange is laser-cut from 3/16" T304 stainless steel, then precision machined and checked for flatness to provide reliable sealing.

Six welded side gussets reinforce the pan for added strength, while the integrated M14x1.5 drain plug bung allows the use of the included ECS magnetic drain plug. Factory provisions for the OEM oil level sensor are retained for a direct plug-and-play installation.

The redesigned sump increases oil capacity by approximately 1.0-1.5 litres, helping to maintain more consistent oil temperatures while providing a larger oil reserve. An integrated internal baffle keeps oil around the pickup during hard acceleration, braking and cornering, reducing the risk of oil starvation during spirited driving.

Manufactured in the USA, this oil pan has undergone extensive development and testing to deliver long-lasting protection for both street and performance vehicles.
