Default APS vs Stillen Oil Pans?
I am looking in to getting one of these and just wanted to know if anybody had anything good or bad to say about either one.

A couple of advantages are each carry about an extra quart of oil and are finned (the aps fins are more apparent) so that helps with keeping the oil cool. The aps one is baffled to keep oil around the pickup, I don’t know about the stillen I can't find any pics of the inside. The main advantage to both of them is that they (safely) drop the oil level under the crank to keep it from frothing the oil. At least that’s my understanding of it.

The drawback to the APS pan right now is getting one. I'm not sure that anyone has any in the U.S. currently.
