Oil Pan & Accessories for your BMW R100GS, R100GS Paris Dakar, R100R, R100RS Classic & R100RT Classic

A properly functioning oil pan is essential for the lubrication, cooling, and reliability of the two-valve boxer engine in your BMW R100GS, BMW R100GS Paris Dakar, BMW R100R, BMW R100RS Classic, or BMW R100RT Classic. The oil pan collects the engine oil and provides the necessary space for it to dissipate heat before being pumped back through the engine. At the same time, it serves as a reservoir for the oil level and must seal reliably to ensure proper lubrication and engine protection. At Hornig, you will find precisely fitting oil pan components and accessories specifically designed for classic R100 models.

 

Oil Pan Spacer Ring R2V – more oil volume & better cooling

As a strategic addition to the standard oil pan, the Oil Pan Spacer Ring R2V is available. This spacer ring increases the oil volume in the system, resulting in improved heat absorption and lower operating temperatures of the oil – a clear advantage during long tours or under higher engine loads. The increased oil capacity helps reduce thermal stress and improves lubrication performance.

 

Oil Pan Spacer Ring ENDURO – robust and lightweight

For riders with a sporty or off-road-oriented riding style, the Oil Pan Spacer Ring ENDURO is an ideal option. This version replaces the standard oil pan and offers a weight-optimized, robust design that reliably provides oil capacity and engine protection even under demanding conditions. The improved oil capacity combined with reduced height makes it an interesting component for touring, off-road use, or performance upgrades.

 

Oil Pan Gasket – essential replacement part

Without a proper seal between the oil pan and the engine block, valuable engine oil can leak out, leading to insufficient lubrication and potential engine damage. The appropriate oil pan gasket ensures that the oil pan is securely sealed and no oil is lost. This sealing component is strongly recommended when replacing the oil pan or in case of leaks to ensure a consistently reliable oil supply.

 

Magnetic Drain Plug M18X1.5 – clean oil changes

A practical accessory is the magnetic drain plug M18X1.5. When draining the engine oil, the integrated magnet captures the finest metallic particles and prevents them from remaining in the oil circulation system. This reduces wear and protects sensitive engine components. Especially in classic boxer engines with high mileage, this plug can help extend engine life.

 

Function & maintenance of the oil pan

Regular inspection of the oil pan and its accessories – including the gasket and drain plug – is part of any thorough maintenance routine for your BMW R100 models. Check for leaks, corrosion, or damage to ensure a reliable lubrication system. Especially after long tours or oil change intervals, the oil pan should be checked for tightness and condition, as proper oil management is crucial for engine performance and longevity.

 

Suitable for classic BMW boxer engines

All oil pan components and accessories in the Hornig range are specifically designed for air-cooled two-valve boxer engines and can be easily integrated into classic R100 models such as R100GS, R100R, R100RT, or R100RS Classic. With these products, you optimize lubrication, improve oil temperature control, and increase the reliability of your motorcycle in everyday use, on tours, or during performance upgrades.
