All D-Series Oil Pans...
 

Are all D-series oil pans the same? I didn't think so, but my buddy offered me one for only $10. I asked if it will fit my y8 and he said it'll fit any D-series. Any validity to that statement? Thanks fellas!

Hondacom gives me 2 different pat #'s. so i'm guessing they are slightly different

For example, I have a Y7 or 8 oil pan on my Z6 and i'm taking it off tomorrow, The problem is where the block meets the pan under the crank pulley, the Y oil pans have a bigger U bend to go around the crank seal housing on the oil pump side (hope everyone knows what i'm talking about)

anyhow, if you take a Y pan and try to bolt it to a Z6 of a A6 or anything other than a Y you will have a pretty big gap out of which you will leak oil, and its no fun leaking oil and getting dust and ---- inside the gap. when I built my engine I had it out of the car and was able to silicone the gap the first time, but after its in the car there is no room to get in there with silicone. also you will have to redrill 2 holes for the oil pan to bolt on rirectly, another thing is there is a aluminum cylinder inside the pan which does absolutly nothing and you will need to use a dremel with a cutter and take that off.

Do you want to get rid of that oil pan?

yep these guys are right. You cannot directly bolt up a z6 oilpan to a y motor.
