Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman 264-383 oil pan, ensure the mating surface on the engine block is clean and free of old gasket material. Note that this oil pan does not include a gasket or seal, so a compatible gasket must be sourced separately. The included drain plug should be tightened to manufacturer torque specifications to avoid thread damage. With 18 mounting holes, evenly tighten bolts in a crisscross pattern to ensure a proper seal and prevent warping. This oil pan does not include a pickup tube or crankshaft wiper, so those components should be reused from the original assembly if applicable.
