Q: What material is the oil pan made of?A: It is made from high-quality cast aluminum, which offers excellent heat dissipation, corrosion resistance, and durability. Q: Does this oil pan come with a gasket and hardware?A: Yes, the oil pan comes with a new sealing gasket and a complete set of mounting bolts for a complete installation. Q: Is the drain plug magnetic?A: Yes, the drain plug is equipped with a reinforced magnet to capture and remove harmful metal particles from circulating oil. Q: Can I install this myself, or do I need a mechanic?A: While it is a direct fit, professional installation is recommended unless you are experienced with vehicle maintenance.
