ive had one for over a year and it works fine and doesnt leak. when put on an sr, oil capacity is about 4 and a half quarts. I think im gonna buy a moroso pan eventually though for the increased capacity and pretty welds

[s15specR]

^ Cool thanks, I like pretty welds top, YoParts carries the Moroso pan pretty cheap.

i have one. i dunno if its "high capacity" mine fills with 4 qts. built well i had no fitment issues. but my friend bought on and we had to enlarge the holes so it would fit right

I looked into the Tomei oil pan and according to the documentation on holds 600cc extra which equates to .64 quarts. Not very much.

[nieko]

hahah really 600cc is only .64 quarts.

Thats why they put it in ccs... sounds like more hahaha

I just ordered the R and D one too.

LOL, 0.64 quarts more is still over 15% more oil than factory!

But seems like a good pan for $110 shipped... I like it a lot better than the cast aluminum pans.

Much better than a cast pan, and it looks just like the tomei, you cant go wrong with the sheet metal i guess.

make sure the mounting surface is flat and smooth and that the screws holding the internal baffles are tight.

i hate r&d

[codyf44]

mine leaked around welds and in plug, returned and in process of getting another for free!

[nieko]

I had to enlarge the holes a little bit because it didnt line up perfectly. And I have tried resealing it 3 times.

It leaks no matter what i do :( i the sad boy.

Maybe ill ask them to send me another one.

[codyf44]

leaks again gettin moroso

[rollout240]

I dont trust R&D stuff.

[didderson]

I has one. I have no complaints. It creates more than 600cc's capacity IMO.. I have to add about 4.25 quarts which kinda sucks when buying the gallon jugs of rotella t6 lol.. but whatevv.

It's strong, can't go wrong with chromate plated steel yeaaaaa!

Plenty of clearance for the skid plate/street sign. (well ok 1/2" to 3/4" isn't much but it's close to oem)
