that upgraded oil pan

scrupul0us · 12-23-2006, 08:30 PM

so whats the install like on the upgraded oil pan.. i think my oil pan gasket is failing

jrak123 · 12-23-2006, 08:31 PM

not tto bad at all, you just have to pull the ypipe and then pull the bolts. not a bad job at all

scrupul0us · 12-23-2006, 08:48 PM

oh i thought the subframe had to come down... what involved... just drain the oil and drop the pain then swap and replace?

^^^ Pretty much, the escape pan i think needs an extra litre tho. You just drain, unbolt the screws, y pipe will probably have to come off (might want to replace this at this time, msds

) Simply replacing the gasket and bolting it all back up..

Does anyone know the shop labour cost on this. Since i have to do mine in spring......

Shop labor should be no more than one hour.

The 3L Escape pan requires no more oil than the old pan. Still 6 qts, some throw in an extra .5 qts for "peace of mind" when running the 2.5L heads with only 2 oil returns...

whats my cheapest option... the escape pan or the upgraded one from bill J (id need to buy a gasket either way)

jrak123 · 12-24-2006, 10:38 PM

If you get the most recent one it will come with new bolts and the integrated gasket

whitecougar · 12-24-2006, 10:39 PM
