Ok, so I just did a 70,000 mile oil change

Oil pan #3 is leaking. I have had this ******** plastic oil pan need to be replaced EVERY YEAR IVE OWNED IT.


I called the dealer I bought it at, they want to charger me full price.

I called for customer service, they say there is a TSB so I can get the pan replaced under that with yet another plastic pan.

So what do I do, go for plastic oil pan #4?

Or should I buy the metal pan and replace it myself? I think you need the pan as well as the pickup?

Are there aftermarket oil pans?

How is the procedure? I am very mechanically competent, but I dont currently have a cherry picker. Do you have to lift the motor some?

Does any one have the part #s for the metal pan?

Any help appreciated, because I am friggen pissed.

Anyone do an oil pan install?

I thought it was a custom pan, looks like its just the stock ford one?

I wish someone would make a metal pan for us plastic pan guys that uses the same shit the plastic pan uses, but just with a metal pan. FWIW I also have a plastic pan and so far no leaks. Apparently if the tech knows WTF he is doing and seals it properly and lets it cure for the appropriate amount of time, there should be no leaks. I guess what I'm getting at is there is a very specific way to seal the pan and if that procedure is not followed to a tee, it will leak. Basically it isn't the pan so much as the procedure to seal it properly which is why they probably moved to a metal pan.

I have read that the procedure and specific chemicals used for installation is paramount. So this definitely falls on the competency of the technician.

Take her to a different dealership.

Sorry brother! What a pita

like @FordTechOne posted recently that there is a special procedure or it will keep failing.

If it takes more than three times to fix. It could be a lemon law buyback situation. ?
A Gen3 may be in your future...

You need to print out @FordTechOne technique and present it to the dealer. Everything is about being proactive these days, unfortunately.

Man, after all the mods I've done... That's a brutal proposition, cause I do my own work.
