See post #5. Engine pans reduce dust infiltration into the engine bay, which can help if you're not using an air filter. They direct the flow of oil or coolant when you're doing things like draining the radiator or removing the valve cover, so it makes cleanup easier. They are thought to improve the performance of the cooling system by forcing air to come through the radiator and out the louvers, rather than allowing air to move in and out randomly through the bottom of the engine bay; however, this is mostly conjecture and anecdote, it hasn't been proven and we don't have documentation from the OEM stating that this is the intent.
