Oil Pans and Engine Supports for Rebuilders and Workshops
Replacement pans, sumps, engine supports and gearbox covers for engine reconditioning shops and independent repair workshops.
The problem
What Goes Wrong Today
- A rebuilt engine is held on the bench because the sump is dented, corroded or has a stripped drain boss
- The pan on the ramp does not match the number in the catalogue because the engine code was never recorded
- A replacement pan seals on the bench and seeps three months later from a flange that was never flat
- Mount brackets and supports have to be ordered separately from another supplier
The answer
What RUIFAN Puts Against It
- Stamped steel and cast aluminum pans supplied against the OE number recorded in the catalogue
- Engine supports, brackets and gearbox covers listed in the same catalogue as the pans
- Photographs published at working size so a part can be identified from flange pattern and drain position
- Notes from the original record kept intact, including sensor-hole and material remarks where they exist

Delivery Routes for This Segment
Replacement Oil Pan Programmes
Running a replacement pan programme from the first number on a quote request to a packed, marked and shipped container.
Custom Aluminum Casting
For parts that are not in the catalogue. The original RUIFAN site stated the factory develops oil pans and other aluminum castings from customer-supplied samples or drawings.
Engine Support and Bracket Supply
Twenty-one engine supports, brackets and gearbox covers sit in the same catalogue as the pans, mostly against VW and GM references.

Do They Make Different Oil Pans
Why engine code, sensor-hole configuration and drain-plug position decide fitment, and how to use an OE number properly.
Stamped Steel vs Cast Aluminum Oil Pans
How a drawn steel pan and a cast aluminum sump differ in structure, failure mode and repairability, and what that means when you source a replacement.
How to Read an OE Oil Pan Number
Reading VW-group, Toyota 12101, Honda 11200 and PSA oil pan numbers, and what each segment actually tells you about fitment.
Questions From Engine Rebuilders and Workshops
Does RUIFAN supply engine rebuilders and workshops directly?
Yes. Engine reconditioners, independent workshops, fleet service centres and mobile mechanics. The factory quotes and ships directly rather than through an intermediary.
What is the smallest order you will take from this kind of buyer?
Minimum order quantity was not recorded in the archived catalogue and is agreed per programme. It depends mainly on whether references run alone or alongside other lines in the same family.
Can you cover a whole number family rather than the fast movers?
That is what the catalogue is built for. Blocks holding a single reference — Ford, Volvo, Opel and Mercedes-Benz — are published in full rather than dropped.
What identification data comes with the parts?
Whatever the original catalogue database stored: OE number, alternate numbers, notes and vehicle application tables. Twenty records carry alternates and six carry application tables. Where nothing was stored, the page says so.
What if a reference we need is missing entirely?
The original RUIFAN site stated the factory develops oil pans and other aluminum castings from customer-supplied samples or drawings. A sample is enough to open the conversation.
