Detailed Product Description

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Dorman 264-720 oil pan requires removal of the old oil pan and cleaning of the mounting surface to ensure a proper seal. Note that this oil pan does not include a gasket or installation hardware, so these components must be sourced separately. Use the correct torque specifications for the 12 mounting bolts to avoid warping or leaks. The included drain plug simplifies oil changes, but verify the drain thread size (14) matches your vehicle’s requirements. Professional installation is recommended for optimal fit and function.
