LS Aluminum Rear Sump Low-Profile Retro-Fit Oil Pan - Satin

• Low-profile aluminum pan adds ground and chassis clearance for LS engine swaps

• Mounts to stock wet-sump LS pickup and accepts the factory-style oil filter

• Retrofits GM muscle car chassis built for a factory rear-sump SB/BB Chevy pan

• Baffled 6.0 qt. cast-aluminum sump with satin finish for consistent oil control

Swapping an LS engine into a classic GM muscle car often means fighting for clearance between the oil pan, crossmember, and chassis. This cast-aluminum, low-profile rear-sump oil pan is built to solve that problem, giving LS Gen III/IV engines (4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L/350, 6.0L, and 6.2L) a wet-sump pan that retrofits into GM rear-wheel-drive chassis originally built around a factory rear-sump small or big block Chevy pan.

The low-profile design increases ground and chassis clearance, making it a common choice for LS swaps into Camaro and Firebird (1967-1969), Nova, Apollo, Ventura, and Omega (1982-1992), and GM A-body (1964-1972) and F-body (1982-1992) platforms. Because the pan mounts to the stock LS oil pickup and accepts the factory oil filter, it's designed to bolt in without switching to a dry-sump system or relocating the filter.

Built from lightweight cast aluminum with a satin finish, the pan holds 6.0 quarts and includes internal baffling to help manage oil movement under acceleration and cornering — useful for street-driven builds as well as more spirited driving. It is not designed for LS7 or LS9 dry-sump applications, and installation requires an LS3-style dipstick and tube (GM #12669528 and #12625031). Engine position may need adjustment for clearance depending on the specific application.

Applications
Covers LS Gen III/IV displacements: 4.8L (293 ci), 5.3L (325 ci), 5.7L/350 (346 ci), 6.0L (364 ci), and 6.2L (376 ci). Designed for wet-sump LS engines only — not compatible with LS7 or LS9 dry-sump platforms. Not intended for GM G-body applications.

Installation
Includes gasket, mounting hardware, drain plug, oil pickup, oil filter stud, and oil passage cover. Uses 17 mounting holes and an M12 x 1.75 drain plug thread. Requires an LS3-style dipstick and tube (GM #12669528 and #12625031) — not compatible with dipstick tubes cast for other LS pan styles. Engine fore/aft position and height may need adjustment for chassis clearance depending on the vehicle.

Will this oil pan work with an LS7 or LS9 engine?
No — this pan is designed for wet-sump LS Gen III/IV engines and does not support LS7 or LS9 dry-sump oiling systems.

What dipstick do I need with this pan?
It requires an LS3-style dipstick and tube, GM part numbers 12669528 (dipstick) and 12625031 (tube).

What oil filter fits this pan?
It retains the stock LS oil filter location and accepts an AC Delco PF48/PF48E, K&N HP-1017, or equivalent filter.

Will I need to adjust my engine mounts or position for this pan to clear?
Possibly — engine fore/aft position or height may need adjustment for chassis and crossmember clearance depending on the specific vehicle platform.

How much oil does this pan hold?
6.0 quarts, with internal baffling to help control oil movement under acceleration and cornering.

What size is the drain plug on this pan?
M12 x 1.75 thread, with the drain plug included.

Does this pan come with the gasket and mounting hardware?
Yes, both the gasket and mounting hardware are included, along with the oil pickup, oil filter stud, and oil passage cover.

Can this pan be used for an LS swap into a first-gen Camaro or Nova?
Yes — it's designed to retrofit into Camaro/Firebird ('67-'69) and Nova/Apollo/Ventura/Omega ('82-'92) chassis originally built around a factory rear-sump small or big block Chevy pan.
