It's at the bottom section of the crankcase of an internal combustion engine, serving as the reservoir for its lubricating oil.
Alex , You already provided the answer. I could not find better words than yours.
Oil pans are a major engine cooling system parts. They are usually constructed of thin steel and shaped into a deeper section to fully perform its function. It is also where the oil pump is placed. When an engine is not running or at rest, oil pans collects the oil as it flows down from the sides of the crankcase. In other words, oil pans that are mounted at the bottom of the crankcase serves as an oil reservoir. Engine oil is used for the lubrication, cooling, and cleaning of internal combustion engines.
Oil Pan in an engine is located in the bottom of the Engine assembly to collect the lubricating oil and to support for lubricating cycle in continues process.
An Oil Pan is the container which contains the oil that circulates and lubricates the Engine.
Oil pan is the one of the component of the engine. Which is normally mounted bottom of the engine. Here the lubricating oil is stored and circulating continuously for the engine components where the friction and heat produced. This component is normally called as Crank case.
I agree with the expert answers.
