Im tryna find a aftermarket lower oil pan thats fits my 05 G35x. The RWDs wont fit due to the sway bar?? Does anyone have or know any aftermarket ones? Or should I just grab a OEM one?

Part 31

Or google search "g35 awd lower oil pan 11110AL810"

Results for random google searches are about $35 for that pan.

Rock Auto has one for $50

Thanks dude I was planning on getting a Stillen one or something so I can add an extra qt but after I found out it doesnt fit ehh, OEMs works too

 

5 quarts of oil is plenty for this vehicle, pretty well designed lubrication system and the only real "upgrade" would be a larger cooler but that's only necessary with forced induction anyways so...

 

Do u recommend using RTV as a gasket? Or using the Felpro premade one? Or both?

 

Well... I've used both on many applications over the years, RTV has a set up time and provides a permanent and lasting seal, gaskets can be applied and immediately driven with no set time but will eventually (100k miles or more) degrade, both are good for totally different situations.

FSM recommends RTV Permatex Ultra Grey 82194 so as long as it's not an issue giving it 24 hours to dry/cure (based on 65 degree F temp, adjust dry time based on actual temperature) then just use the RTV. If you absolutely must drive the vehicle the same day then use a gasket. Don't use both, it's redundant.

 

So I got this gasket

I guess ill find out which one isnt the right one tomorrow when I do my oil change

 

Turns out to be the gasket smh its funny how they said “Once you open it you wont be able to return it” lol waste of $10.09. I guess i’ll be using RTV on my next oil change

 

Just plan for the appropriate cure time, you're definitely better off with the RTV if you have the time.

EDIT: Also, wipe down the mating surface on the upper oil pan with brakleen or some other solvent to make sure it's oil-free.

 

Gotcha thank you, it just sucks that they dont have a premade gasket for the X’s and I cant even return the one I just bought smh
