Review on Dorman 265-813 Automatic Transmission Oil Pan - Ford/Lincoln/Mercury Compatible Models by Bryan Fisher

This review is for a Dorman 265-813 transmission pan with drain plug. I had this drain pan on my 2004 4WD Expedition 5.4 for almost three months. There are no leaks around the drain pan or at the plug itself. There is no gear oil on the floor of my garage and I didn't see it in the parking lot at work. Installation was as easy as replacing an old drain pan. I was able to use the original filling after inspecting it for damage. Two weeks ago I used a drain plug for the first time. It worked like a charm. It took several minutes to drain the liquid from the sump and replace it with new liquid. With no drain plug, it was a multi-hour project between actually doing the work and cleaning up the mess. I have no complaints about this particular palette. If you love doing your own work and keeping up with the maintenance of your car, this drain pan will save you a lot of headaches in the long run. Pros: Fits snugly on my 2004 Expedition 5.4, 4WD. .As easy to install as the original.Drain plug for easy draining.Cons:None.
