Expect to see lots more plastic oil pans. They have been used successfully on truck engines, and are being developed now by many suppliers. Plastic intake manifolds paved the way. May be a while until we see another full plastic engine block... Just to add fuel to the fire, the supplier of the pan in the photo is reportedly integrating a lifetime oil filter. That should go over well.
