OBX "morosso" oil Pan Review

alright guys and gals,

Took delivery of my new B-Series OBX oil pan yesterday and I have to say I'm pretty impressed, Real nice welds sturdy construction, overall a real nice looking unit.

For the $200 price tag I got, the oil pickup and new mounting hardware. Not a Bad deal at all consideting it would be well over $300 for the moroso unit with the same hardware or about $200 at honda.

However fitting the unit was not just a bolt in affair, a little work was required to get it to fit, but nothing someone with a dremel can't do. the holes did not quite line up to the block uppon test fitting, so about 20 minutes later and a little bit of cutting, everything fit fine.

Pros
- oil pickup included
- 5 quart Capacity
- Baffled with trap doors
- Pre welded bungs for oil temp and oil return
- New mounting hardware
- Nice thick aluminum used
- Very nice looking peice
- good value

Con
- not a "bolt on" Fitting, some modification may be required
- does not come with any stickers

So overall This is a nice product. some finessing might be required to get everything to fit, more oil is always a good thing, also keeping the oil where it needs to be it's well wort the price. considering an stock oil pickup and oil pan would cost roughly the same price.

who's it for
- autocross, drag, anyone that want's a higher capacity oil pan, Turbo guys, N/A guys or anyone that needs an oil pan

overall rating (8.5/10)
