[QUOTE="troverman, post: 1207105, member: 25003"] Just think, by the time you drove it home, it'd be ready to go back for another oil change![COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] We've got a 2016 F-150 2.7L in our household, bought new, now has over 20k miles. Plastic oil pan with quarter-turn drain hasn't given any trouble at all. Interestingly, when Ford released the new 6.7L Powerstroke for 2011, it also came with a plastic oil pan and the quarter-turn drain plug. In 2012, they went back to a stamped steel oil pan with a normal drain plug bolt. I never heard any complaints about the plastic pan; in fact some owners who eventually traded in their 2011's lamented going back to a steel pan. Ford has a long history of having their thin stamped steel oil pans rot out. But plastic pans are used very successfully on many vehicles, not just Fords. They are lighter weight, possibly cheaper to make, and have better noise control than thin steel. [/QUOTE]
