When the plastic lower half of the original equipment two-piece engine oil pan on certain Ford F-150 trucks warps from heat or cracks from impact, the dealership's repair solution is to replace that failed lower half with the same plastic design. This only invites a similar future pan failure and leaks. The dealership's process requires applying a large amount of silicone sealant between the replacement lower half and the existing aluminum upper half of the pan, which means the vehicle has to be out of commission for a significant and inconvenient period of time while the sealant cures. This Dorman OE FIX oil pan design replaces that original equipment disposable pan section with a lower pan half made of rugged high-pressure diecast aluminum more resistant to heat, corrosion and impact. For a faster and more predictable repair, this pan is engineered to use a replaceable, press-in gasket and requires a minimal amount of sealant for a secure, leak-proof fit. The included convenient magnetic drain plug also features an angled mount boss that enables a complete drain.
