OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi lower oil pan bolt, part number N-910-717-01. This original fastener retains the lower engine oil pan at its assigned mounting position on the confirmed configurations below. One bolt is supplied.
Technical details
- Original number: N-910-717-01 / N91071701.
- Published nominal size: M6 x 25.
- Rounded head with internal six-lobe drive, as pictured.
- Application: specified lower oil pan mounting positions on the EA888 Generation 3 engine.
- Oil pan, gasket, drain plug and remaining hardware are separate.
The pan fasteners retain the lower sump against its mating assembly. The prescribed sealing component retains engine oil at the joint. Correct hardware and an evenly seated pan are necessary for the designed connection.
This bolt is mounting hardware and is separate from the oil drain plug and its sealing arrangement. Other engine fasteners can use a similar head while requiring different lengths or mounting specifications. Match the original number and pan design before ordering.
Common reasons to replace
Inspect the pan bolts during lower oil pan replacement, gasket service or repairs that require sump removal. Replace missing bolts, damaged threads, rounded drive sockets, deformation or corrosion that prevents correct installation. Follow the factory hardware renewal requirement for the actual repair.
Previous pan service can leave incorrect fastener lengths or uneven mounting. Compare each position with the prescribed hardware, especially when a replacement or aftermarket pan has been fitted. A bolt that bottoms before the pan seats cannot establish the intended attachment.
Oil leakage requires diagnosis of the pan, seal, mating surfaces and surrounding components. A new bolt does not repair a cracked sump, failed gasket, stripped threads or an oil leak elsewhere in the engine. Correct the diagnosed condition before assembly.
Installation and service notes
Follow the factory lower oil pan procedure for the exact engine and pan design. Drain the engine oil as directed and keep debris out of the open sump. Protect the mating surfaces when removing the pan and old sealing material.
Inspect the pan, mounting holes and mating surfaces before installing replacement components. Use the prescribed gasket or sealing method for that arrangement. Do not apply extra sealant or substitute a different sealing method unless the repair instructions require it.
Place the pan correctly and start the assigned bolts by hand in undamaged threads. Do not use a fastener to pull a misaligned pan into position or overcome resistance from an incorrectly seated gasket. Confirm that every mounting point receives its required hardware.
Engage the correct six-lobe tool fully in the bolt head. Follow the factory tightening sequence, thread preparation and tightening requirement for the pan. Do not use a general M6 torque value or a specification from another pan design.
When changing the pan type, follow the component manufacturer's verified installation requirements and confirm the correct fastener arrangement. This listing supplies original N91071701 hardware and does not establish compatibility with every aftermarket sump.
After assembly, restore the drain connection as prescribed, refill with the specified engine oil and complete the required operating and leak checks. Obtain the full quantity of bolts, sealing components and other service parts separately.
