High Capacity Oil Pan

When we set out to build a high performance oil pan for the RX-8 our goal was to increase capacity and create a baffle system to protect your Renesis under the most extreme driving conditions. To increase capacity typically aftermarket pans simply have a lower floor or sump in the very bottom of the pan. The down side of this is eliminating precious ground clearance that will create issues in a sports car, especially cars with aftermarket suspension. We took a different approach!  Our innovative design results in a pan that carries a full six quarts of oil almost doubling the factory capacity while only lowering the bottom of the pan ¼ of an inch!     We chose aluminum for construction due to its light weight and excellent heat transfer characteristics. With the increased surface area and system capacity engine oil temperatures are lowered which, in turn, lowers engine operating temperatures! The engine mounting flange is 3/16th of an inch thick which not only provides a very durable
