Hello everyone!

Now i´m looking for a oil pan. And i´m thinking about moroso or greddy, which is better?

Moroso is a good company and this oil pan seems to be good, what you think about? is it really works good?

Thanks!

Moroso and Greddy are so similar internally I don't think it really makes a difference. I just installed my Moroso and I had some issues getting 2 of the rear nuts over the studs. Looks like the rear plate of my pan was welded a bit to close to the bolt holes. It wasn't a deal breaker but I had to scratch my pan to get the nut on. I'd still recommend it to anyone though.

had to scratch your pan to get it on, its an oilpan lol... you will be good with either pan, they are basically the same, get what one appeals more to you, i hate these part opinion threads, at the end of the day you decide what you want to buy, not us or anyone on zilvia, we dont have a gun to your head telling to to choose do we?

Moroso Pan = Tig Welded Aluminum
Greddy = Cast Aluminum

If you smash the Moroso pan, itll dent. You smash a Greddy one, itll crack/shatter.

Whats to say that a weld won't leak? Or it may rip if you hit a bump? Highly unleakly, but possible...much like cracking a greddy pan


We've dropped an engine with a greddy pan on a floor by accident, and it's still on the car 2 years later. I've personally bashed mine on uneven pavement, no issues either.

Cast <> Weak. It's a very sturdy pan (the greddy one)


Ultimatly, go with what is cheaper. Both work fine.

i would go moroso pan for the reason of the cast vs sheet metal. if in the same situation with both you can atleast have some chance with the metal being bent vs the cast just blowing up.

I agree both are good pans, they are both very similar in design internally. I was asking this same question a while back when I was in the market for a pan. I ended up with greddy because someone had made a good point that if you smash eith pan hard enough for them to fail the greddy pan will most likely crack and you will loose oil presure gradually so you might be able to catch it and shut down the motor before serious damage is done. where as the morosso pan is likely to bend and it could cave in and block your oil pickup tube that would cause you to loose all oil pressure instantly ...

Greddy is more quality to me than a Moroso. We installed a Moroso on a buddies car and it was a pain to get a couple nuts on. If you pay that much money you should get a quality part that fits. Greddy is top notch. We've bottomed out a Greddy with no serious damage and the car still runs till this day. Whether it be cast aluminum or cast iron, both are made to be durable. Go for Greddy.
