kob7150 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Does anyone have experience with the plastic oil pan with drain plug offered by some vendors? Less expensive, no rust, but obviously more sensitive to impact. Cost is less but is it worth it to pay the extra for a metal one with drain? I'm tired of the pump method. 450 CDI Quote
dmoonen Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 There's a guy in Alberta that makes them as a kit for realistically cheap witH a magnet drain plug and sealant (I'll see if I can find a link). You could also get a shop to weld you in a bung for a drain plug for about the same price. Quote
jwight Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 This is an older thread; don't see those pans on eBay now. Quote

smart142 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I tried to buy one of those pans a while back - no longer in business. Quote
kob7150 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks for the replies. The link for metal pans in Canada does not answer emails . A company in Germany is currently advertising these pans on ebay and an English supplier has them on sale. Quote
dmoonen Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Strange I bought one a three months ago. Personally what I would do it just buy a new pan and weld a bung and call it a day. Quote
