Oil Pan Assembly1009100F0016 – Product Introduction

This Oil Pan Assy—part number 1009100F0016—is a key part for storing and protecting components in the Dongfeng Dignity IX5’s engine lubrication system. It mostly fits 2019 to 2023 models, and works perfectly with both the 1.5T turbo engine (that’s the DK15C one) and the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine (the DFMB20). Its main job? Hold onto the engine oil, keep that oil clean, and help cool it down—basically, it’s the engine’s “oil tank.” If this oil pan isn’t working right, the engine’s moving parts (like the crankshaft or bearings) won’t get the lubrication they need, and they’ll start getting damaged fast. Below’s a breakdown of what this part is all about:

Core Jobs & Which Cars/Engines It Fits 

What It Actually Does for the Engine

• Storing Oil: It holds all the engine oil the IX5 needs—around 4.5 liters for the 1.5T engine, and 5 liters for the 2.0L one. This makes sure the oil pump always has enough oil to suck up and send to other engine parts.
• Filtering Out Gunk: The bottom of the pan is a little indented, so tiny metal bits (from regular engine wear) and dirt sink right down to the bottom—far away from the oil pump’s intake (so the pump doesn’t suck that junk in). A lot of these pans also have a magnetic oil drain plug—this thing grabs those tiny metal pieces, so they don’t circulate through the engine and scratch up parts.
• Cooling the Oil: The outside of the pan is out in the open air—plus, when the car’s moving, wind hits it too. This helps cool down the hot oil that flows back from the engine (when the engine’s running, the oil can get as hot as 100 to 120°C!). Keeping the oil from getting too hot keeps its thickness stable—if oil gets too hot, it gets thin and can’t lubricate the engine well anymore.

Where It Goes

Step-by-Step Install (You Gotta Follow These!)

1. First, wipe off all the old gasket gunk from both the engine block and the oil pan’s sealing surfaces. Use a plastic scraper for this—metal scrapers will scratch the surface, and that’ll lead to leaks later.

2. Next, pop the new sealing gasket onto the oil pan. Heads up: Some gaskets need a thin coat of oil-resistant sealant on both sides. Just check the accessory manual to be sure.

3. Then, tighten the pan’s bolts with a torque wrench. Go in a crisscross pattern—start from the center and work your way out to the edges. Tighten ’em to 15–20N·m. Whatever you do, don’t over-tighten! That’ll squish the gasket, and then you’ll get leaks.

4. Once you’re done installing, add oil up to the standard level, then start the engine. Let it idle for 5 minutes, then check the bottom of the pan and the bolts for any oil seeping out.

Everyday Maintenance (Skip the Big Headaches!)

Regular Checks (Every 5,000km)

• Check under the car for oil spots: If there’s wet oil around the pan’s edges or the drain plug, that means either the gasket’s leaking or the plug’s loose.

• Tighten the drain plug properly: After every oil change, make sure it’s tightened to 25–30N·m. Too loose, and it’ll leak; too tight, and you’ll strip the threads (total hassle!).

Summary

Bottom line, the Oil Pan Assy 1009100F0016 is like an unsung workhorse for the Dongfeng Dignity IX5’s engine. It doesn’t get much love or attention, but keeping it in good shape—no leaks, no dents—matters a ton if you want your engine to stick around longer. Do those regular checks, and when you need to replace it, go for original parts? That’ll save you from dropping big money on expensive engine fixes later!
