Detailed Description

Dorman 264-563 is precision-engineered to match the original equipment oil pan on specific Mini Cooper years and models. It is built for the 2002-2008 Mini Cooper and uses an aluminum body with a center sump layout, making it a practical replacement for a cracked, corroded, or leaking factory pan. The pan does not include a gasket or seal, oil level sensor port, dipstick port, pickup, or windage tray, so existing vehicle-specific components should be verified during service.
