Excessive heat accumulation in transmission fluids and hydraulic components leads to mechanical failure and reduced efficiency. Effective thermal management prevents fluid degradation and ensures consistent hydraulic pressure for vehicle control.

Fluid pressure fluctuations and mechanical vibrations in oil pump systems create acoustic disturbances. Mitigating these noises prevents component fatigue and improves vehicle cabin refinement.

Standard engine configurations suffer from spatial inefficiencies and excessive mass due to discrete housing components. Integrating the oil pan with balance shaft housings reduces the total footprint and weight of the powertrain.
