Stamped Steel Engine Oil Pan with Drain Plug FIT 2011-2016 Chevrolet Cruze Sonic Trax FIT Buick Encore 1.4L Turbo 25196122

Vehicle Compatibility Matrix (1.4L Turbo LUJ/LUV Engines ONLY): FIT 2011-2016 Chevrolet Cruze / Cruze Limited 1.4L FIT 2012-2020 Chevrolet Sonic 1.4L FIT 2013-2021 Chevrolet Trax 1.4L FIT 2013-2021 Buick Encore 1.4L Note: NOT for 1.4L LE2 engines (2016-2019 newer Cruze models). Technical Specifications & Physical Evidence: Material: High-Strength Stamped Steel with Anti-Corrosion Coating Drain Plug Thread Size: M14 x 1.5 (Pre-Installed) Sealing Style: RTV Silicone (Gasket-less Design) OE Part Interchange: 25196122, 55573111, 55580513, 264-378, GMP70A. Technical Installation & Surface Integrity: This oil pan is a critical hardware component for maintaining engine lubrication geometry. For successful integration, the mounting flange must be thoroughly degreased before applying a continuous bead of high-temperature RTV sealant. Torque the mounting bolts in a cross-pattern to OE specifications to prevent flange deformation and ensure a closed-loop seal. This hardware provides a direct-fit solution for factory-specified oil capacity and signal integrity.

• FIT 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 Chevrolet Cruze (Limited models included), FIT 2012-2020 Sonic, FIT 2013-2021 Trax, FIT 2013-2021 Buick Encore. Application-specific for 1.4L Turbocharged (LUJ/LUV) gasoline engines. Verify engine code before purchase.
• This Engine Oil Pan is constructed from heavy-gauge stamped steel with a precision-machined sealing flange. The hardware integrates an M14x1.5 threaded drain plug and is designed for direct-fit integration with the factory engine block, maintaining a closed-loop lubrication interface.
• The hardware housing is treated for environmental exposure and tested for thermal expansion stability from -40°C to 120°C. Designed to address structural integrity loss and erratic oil level feedback due to pan corrosion, it restores factory-specified oil containment characteristics and maintains proper engine geometry.
• Each unit undergoes pressure-tested validation to ensure a zero-leak interface at the weld seams. The precision-stamped design ensures accurate geometric matching with the pickup tube clearance, meeting OE specifications for acoustic decibel limits and fluid dynamics within the crankcase.
• Professional installation is required; this hardware is designed for RTV silicone sealant application (sealant not included). Ensure the engine block mounting surface is cleared of old residue to maintain signal and seal integrity. Replaces OE# 25196122, 55573111, 55580513, 264-378.
