Detailed Product Description

This Dorman engine oil pan (part number 264-365) is engineered to meet the specifications required for Subaru Legacy and Outback vehicles.

The pan features a center sump location with a wet sump design, which is standard for these Subaru models. With eight mounting holes, it allows for a secure and stable installation. Note that this oil pan does not include a drain plug, crankshaft wiper, dipstick port, or windage tray, so it is intended for direct replacement where these components are not required or are reused from the original assembly.

• Addressing oil leaks caused by corrosion or impact damage
• Restoring proper oil containment to prevent engine oil loss

• Ensuring compatibility with factory mounting points and sump design

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman 264-365 oil pan, ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of old gasket material. This oil pan does not include a gasket or seal, so a compatible gasket must be sourced separately. Verify the drain plug thread size (M16x1.5) matches your vehicle’s drain plug or replace accordingly. Tighten mounting bolts evenly to the manufacturer’s torque specifications to avoid warping the pan. Since this pan does not include a pickup or windage tray, reuse the original components if applicable.
