Greddy Oil Pan
 
I was looking on the GTM website and they have the Greddy High Capacity aluminum oil pan, is it a good upgrade? I ask because it seems that a lot of people here use oil pan spacers instead and yes i am planning to go force induction soon. Thanks for the help guys!

It's a great upgrade IMO. BUt if you plan to go FI I'd just wait till then to get it.

I would get an oil cooler instead, but it wouldn't hurt

I would get both they work well together.

I would love the extra quart of oil that it adds. it wont make a huge difference with cooling but having the extra oil is never a bad thing. dont porche's run 6/7 quarts of oil?

It does make a big difference that quart extra helps dissipate heat my temps so far have not gone over 205deg.

With no oil cooler? What ambient air temps?

I have a 25 row oil cooler,as far as air temps go ,I'm F.I so it wouldn't be the same.

Ah I thought you meant your oil temps were so low just from the oil pan, got me excited for a minute. Though ambient temp always matters as far as cool goes, the issue is just compounded when you add FI to the mix.

You have to have a oil cooler at the very least to control oil temps,it should have been a red flag that Nissan put a oil "temp" gauge,

The reason why the oil temps are high is b/c the oil pan is very shallow so that most of the oil sits up inside the engine block with it being fed heat at a constant basis.

Thanks a lot guys for the info, just wanted to ask since i decided i want to start buying a few of the supporting mods first that are necessary or at least recommended for FI :tiphat:

Anyone have this Greddy pan with the ZSpeed undershroud with the oil change access door? I'm guessing this won't fit with that on... but then again if the Greddy pan is made to fit underneath the stock undershould then it should fit. Thoughts?

I have the Greddy pan and it fits with a stock splash shield,but it is close I was going to buy the Z speed under shroud but it is to close I thought it might rub so I didn't buy it.

I believe they made a V2 of the tray which is suppose to provide more room for oil pan spacers and bigger sways from rubbing.
