The Mazda CX-7 Oil Pan serves as the safe tank of the engine, which traps and retains the oil that lubricates all the moving components and cools them. Constructed as part of a wet sump system, this shallow, although wide, container, located beneath the powerplant of the turbocharged four-cylinder, enables gravity to recirculate hot oil immediately for the next pressure stroke, a geometry that has been lauded as simple yet highly reliable over the long term. During the entire production life of the crossover, Mazda kept a single hard (stamped steel or cast) design, which is bolted beneath the block, and with which all owners of CX-7 2006-2012 (front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, gas-powered, or diesel) can install the same Oil Pan with complete confidence. An extruded gasket will close the edge and a solid drain plug will facilitate the frequent replacement of the filter, making maintenance quick and easy. With the selection of authentic Mazda hardware, drivers will not experience the leaks that take away the oil pressure and cause heat accumulation, both of which can lead to costly repairs. During actual CX-7 driving (school runs and highway cruising), the large capacity and deep sump geometry of the Oil Pan ensure that the pickup tube is immersed even on sharp lane turns and that the pressure remains constant to prevent bearing wear. Such Oil Pans also have cooling fins that distribute heat to the flowing airstream, a factor that has been neglected but contributes to the Oil Pans continuing to provide optimum viscosity to allow a quicker transition within the six-speed automatic transmission. The low profile of the component provides ample clearance to the road yet covers the bottom of the block, thus an extra measure of security against rogue debris. These are the considerate touches that reflect Mazda's dedication to performance and more ordinary reliability, so that every trip begins with a smoothly oiled, assertive engine.
