Re: All D-Series Oil Pans...

Yea. If you don't mind post the pic of the 2 oil pans. Aluminum huh? The only series that was aluminum? So the magnet sticks = no good. Doesn't stick = buy it. Do I got it right?

y8 pans are not painted black. They look like cast aluminum.

Re: All D-Series Oil Pans...

not ALL y series pans are aluminum.

the difference is the width of the holes around the crank at the oil pump, the oil pumps are different, therefore the oil pan has to be different.

ive seen plenty of d16y's with steel pans, which still will not bolt to a d15, or d16z.
