I'm looking for about 3 extra qts. I know Mac makes a somewhat reasonably priced one, but I'm unsure of it's quality. There's also the TCI and B&M ones, but they're pretty pricy for something like that.

Anyone have any input into this? :shrug:
 
Thanks for the input. Unfortunatly, Moroso doesn't make one for the AODE.
:shrug:

From all of the ones I've been browsing through, the TCI one seems to be among the best for the price. I'll probably go with it, unless anyone knows of a better one.
 
I am probably completely out of it, but why not use a 4R pan and 4R filter. I think that nets some extra capacity. :shrug:

The B&M one. I figured that I'd go for a tried and true one. :nice:

One of the best reasons I could find is that the aftermarket pans actually have a drain plug. Makes draining the stuff a ton easier. My B&M pan held about 3 quarts more fluid than the stocker, which was thin and dainty by comparison. It's also finned and very nice looking under the car. :)

Did it come with a pick-up extension? Also where did you get the B&M pan from?

Summit says its discontinued...

If I remember correctly, it uses a 4x4 filter, instead of an extension. I got it from Summit. Odd, that it would be discontinued. :scratch:
 
Do you guys have lowered cars? I was under mine today and the stock pan sits just above the exhaust. My cats and K-member drag on huge speed bumps (all speed bumps are crawled over). Now having looked, I am not going to get a deeper pan.

Just wanted to toss that out - it would suck to rip the pan off (the 94 is pretty dropped though).

Good luck.
 
My exhaust is lower than the pan is, so it hasn't caused any problems. But, I am used to creeping over stuff. :)

EDIT: I also have about an extra 1/4" of ground cleatance due to my tire size. Not sure how much that helps, though. :shrug:
