Process
How It Runs, Step by Step
Agree the carton
Individual carton, bulk carton or palletised, decided by the destination and the handling at the far end.
Protect the flange
The sealing flange decides whether the part can be fitted, so it is the surface that packing has to protect.
Mark the part
Part number and programme marking agreed per order.
Consolidate
Small blocks ship with larger ones rather than as separate consignments.
Document
Export documentation prepared for the destination market.
Carton dimensions, pieces per carton and container loading figures were not recorded in the archived catalogue and are confirmed per order.
Outcome
Parts that arrive fittable, not parts that arrive cheap and dented.
Every figure and capability named on this page is one RUIFAN recorded on its original site. Where a detail was never recorded, it is agreed per programme rather than stated here.

Background Reading
What Is an Oil Pan
What an oil pan is, where it sits on the engine and what it does — the original RUIFAN explainer, kept as it was published in 2009.
What Can Go Wrong With My Oil Pan
Impact damage, worn gaskets and contamination — the three failure modes the original RUIFAN guide identified, with sourcing notes added.
How Will I Know I Have a Bad Oil Pan
How a failing oil pan announces itself, why a dent is usually not an emergency, and when replacement is the right call.
Questions About Packaging and Export Handling
How long does packaging and export handling take?
Lead time was not recorded in the archived catalogue and is confirmed per programme, because it depends on whether tooling exists, how many references are in the order and where it is shipping.
What do you need from us to start?
For catalogue references, the number list, quantities and destination market. For anything not in the catalogue, a sample, a drawing or a dimensioned photograph.
Who owns the tooling?
Tooling cost, lead time and ownership are agreed in writing before any work begins. Nothing on that is assumed.
Can this run alongside a catalogue order?
Yes, and it usually should. Consolidating is what makes low-volume references economic to produce and to ship.
What quality systems apply?
ISO 9001 and TS 16949 are the systems RUIFAN recorded on its original site. Certificate numbers and validity dates are supplied on request.
