Sounds like if the stock one fits, the CZP one will too.

I'll be doing the Mishimoto panel with Dorman aluminum oil pan.

Dorman 264-864 aluminum oil pan has arrived; includes the gasket and a magnetic drain plug:

Not bad for $158 from Walmart.com!

Let me know if it fits.

I don't have the Mishimoto panel yet, but the Dorman oil pan dimensions are identical to the OEM plastic pan. If something fits with the stock pan, it'll fit with the Dorman.

I've got the reverse problem. I have the Mishimoto shroud, but no aluminum pan.

Order this one up, you won't be disappointed! Quality gasket, perfect fitment, magnetic drain plug, and best of all aluminum not plastic.

It's rated at +0.2 qt and 6.5 qt complete drain.

Thanks. The shroud is very stout. When you get it, that's one the first things you'll notice.

Fairly heavy or still lightweight?

I'd say heavy. Imo. However it is very high quality. Put it this way, after I installed it, I told myself I probably don't need the oil pan.

I was interested in the high oil capacity in the other pans available. Then I saw the price for the one you listed. Made sense.

Yup, OEM replacement, no real need for more than 6.5 qts with adequate cooling capacity. The cast aluminum will dissipate heat more effectively than composite/plastic which acts as an insulator.

This is a great find and way cheaper than others are selling it for. Question - I see the listing says it relocates the drain plug. Is it still in a place that the service door on a shroud will be able to access?
