I've looked at all the aftermarket pans. Absolute has one as well. The Sritcly Diesel one is a very nice piece. On my 11 I just bought the steel pan and rolled on...

I always drain oil when the motor is warm. Seems to drain out much better especially in some large equipment that has 7+ gallons to drain out.

Yeah. I was messing with him. We have units we drain 750 gallons of engine oil out of and warmth is crucial!!

Got my oil pan from strictly diesel the other week and its a very nice piece. Hoping to get it installed here next week for the trucks 100K mile oil change

Had to give it a little extra though to match some other stuff going on.:thumbup:

Thats whats going in mine as well. Going to run 10K changes with a new filter ever 5K, Engine, trans, power steering, transfer case, and diffs are all getting LE fluids since it hit 100K

nice!! is that the first initial fill with LE? or have you did a full change since you started? how much do you have to put in to top off after the filter change only? I know when I change my oil, there is a lot that sits on top of the filter that drains out with it..

I ran my first batch at 2,500 to 11,000. Changed it completely during the turbo swap.

First time I drained a bit over a quart, then some more when I took the sample, and THEN pulled the filter...took four quarts to top it off. This time I opened the valve for a bit, filled the container, and closed it...guessing less than a pint. Then changed the filter. Took 2 quarts to top off.
