Review on πŸ”§ Dorman 264-042 Engine Oil Pan for Ford Models - The Perfect Fit for Your Vehicle by David Hansen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

rubbish, useless. Almost ruined my engine.

This oil pan gave me a lot of headaches and a nearly $10,000 engine that was rebuilt a few months ago! First of all, the quality is in your hands. There is a big difference between Dorman and OEM. You can feel how cheap this pan is. The bolt holes did NOT match. twisted 2 screws at the end. I had to drill holes in the timing case cover because the holes were almost 1/4" off-center. Funny. To top it all off, the oil pan is way too short! This oil pan gave me low/zero oil pressure. I had a quick oil pressure spike and then one Dropped to 0. After a few hours of diagnostics I decided to remove the engine and disassemble it again, it turned out that the oil pan and suction pipe touched each other, as soon as the oil pump sucked oil through the pipe, the pipe sucked into the ground of the sump which resulted in the loss of oil production I used a FORD downspout I put my OEM sump and Dorman side by side another Dorman product after that what a complete nightmare luckily I saved a lot of money by making it myself. If it was in a store it would probably cost me hundreds to fix it. DO NOT BUY THIS HUM!

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
