Oil pan assembly

8. OIL PAN

The oil pan in D20DTF engine improves the noise and vibration. Especially, the oil drainage is very easier 

than before. The oil level sensor in oil pan monitors the oil level and turns on the oil level warning lamp on 

the meter cluster when the oil level goes down below the specified value. And, A/C compressor bracket 

and the oil dipstick tube are mounted on the oil pan.

10. FLYWHEEL AND DRIVE PLATE

1) DMF (Dual Mass Flywheel)

The dual mass flywheel, or DMF, eliminates excessive transmission gear rattle, reduces gear 

change/shift effort, and increases fuel economy. There is a friction ring located between the inner and 

outer flywheel that allows the inner and outer flywheel to slip. This feature is designed to alleviate any 

damage to the transmission when torque loads exceed the vehicle rating of the transmission. The friction 

ring is the weak spot in the system and can wear out if excessive engine torque loads are applied 

through it. The system also has a center support bearing that carries the load between the inner and 

outer flywheel, and is fitted with damper springs to absorb shocks.

2) Drive Plate

Drive plate receives the power from the start motor when starting the engine. With this, the drive plate 

initially drives the power train system. And, it is connected to the torque converter to transfer the engine 

torque to the power train system.
