Default Extra capacity Oil Pan ???

Hello Guys and the all Knowing....
Was looking of getting a Aluminum Oil pan with the fins and extra capacity,
( 1.25 Qts ) extra, I have just switched my oil to the 0-30 Amsoil, with a K&N Oil filter, I am goo goo over amsoil, But it would even woo me more if i had an Larger pan.
So does anyone here have one? and is there any fitment issues?
Thanks

Ron ( Bored after retirement )

I found this pan for $110. Does this price sound right?

it actually can be found for less - APS dropped the price last year (my guess is they switched factories)

problem is availability - APS has 0 in stock last we checked

as far as the pans themselves, if it's made correctly, it should not have any fitment issues. I've not used the APS ones since the big price decrease, so can't comment directly on it. I have used the Greddy pan, the ARC pan, and the AAM oil pan spacer, and have never had any issues with any of those.

Sir;

I run the same oil, and have the same pan sitting on back order. I'll let you know how it fits when i get it. I'm also adding an oil cooler for more capacity and cooling.

The chances of seeing an APS oil pan in the USA again, is ziltch. Try one of the simple oil pan spacers, such as AAM or JWT. 1 qt extra capacity. Then add an oil cooler if needed.
