Hi guys,

does anybody know, if there is a bigger oil pan available for the Mazda K-engines?

Best regards,
Tom

Not that I am aware of.

I would be scared of owning a larger pan..

- The car is really low and the ground is already close to the pan.
- The pan is already designed perfectly to fit around headers and whatnot.
- The oil pump might not reach deep enough in a new pan etc.
- Car already holds around 5L of oil, I dont see much of a use to have a deeper oil pan unless you are racing
