Abstract

An internal-combustion engine, particularly for a motor vehicle, is provided with an oil pan. Oil ducts are molded into the housing of the oil pan. An oil filter housing with an oil filter and an oil pump is integrated in the oil pan. Together with the oil filter and the oil pump, the oil pan can be mounted and/or demounted as a unit to the internal-combustion engine.
