Holds 5.5 Litres, Extra Oil Filter Clearance
The Aeroflow Performance fabricated front sump oil pan is designed to suit GM LS Chev engines, mainly used in engine conversions in a VB-VT Holden Commodore. This oil pan can also be used in additional applications. It holds 5.5 litres of engine oil with extra capacity wings built onto the sides of the oil pan. The race pan has a female 1/4" NPT welded into the pan for a dipstick provision and requires the use of an aftermarket dipstick (sold separately AF64-2123 or AF64-2123BLK).
This race oil pan will utilize the OEM oil filter setup with an oil filter attachment included in this kit. This oil filter attachment can also be purchased separately AF59-2012. Ensure to check clearance and location when using this oil filter attachment for your application. It may or may not be in a convenient location to access on a regular basis to change the oil filter. This oil pan has extra cut-outs where the oil filter attachment is. This allows the oil filter to sit closer to the pan to accommodate extra clearance around the oil filter once installed into Holden Commodores, for example.
We also have several other different options available for remote mounting the oil filter (sold separately). The oil filter adapter block AF82-2022 is similar to the one included in this kit: instead of the oil filter hanging down vertically, it mounts the oil filter horizontally or at a 90-degree angle. The oil block AF82-2013 has 2 x female -10 ORB fittings attached to the block. This will allow an external oil filter and/or oil cooler setup to be run, such as AF64-4112, AF64-2075 or AF64-2061. This will need to be adapted to suit your application. AF82-2009 GM LS 90-degree oil block adapter allows two female -10 ORB fittings to be placed in a 90-degree (Horizontal) position. AF82-2030 GM LS slimline oil block adapter is perfect for tight clearances with -10AN male fittings attached to a very slim plate.
This race oil pan features a trap door setup to keep oil within the oil pick-up area under any condition. The OEM windage tray may be used with this pan or purchased separately from the Aeroflow Performance windage tray AF82-2020 for improved oil control in any application.
Aeroflow Performance makes an oil pick-up to suit this race pan. This is sold separately (AF82-2409). It will also accept the standard OEM oil pick-up (GM12572654).
