Milodon Oil Pan Metal Low Profile for Performance

Description

Product Overview

The Milodon Oil Pan (model 30929) is a precision‑engineered component designed to meet the demanding needs of performance‑oriented engines. Constructed from high‑strength metal with a striking gold finish, the pan measures 9.5 inches in length and width, providing a compact footprint without sacrificing internal volume. Weighing 13.4 pounds, it balances robust durability with manageable weight for easier handling during installation. The low‑profile architecture ensures adequate oil supply for higher output engines while preserving maximum ground clearance, a critical factor for both street‑legal vehicles and drag‑strip competitors. This pan is part of Milodon’s performance line, manufactured in Los Angeles, California, and is compatible with Milodon pickup oil pumps and crush‑proof gaskets for a complete, leak‑free system.

Usage

Designed for high‑performance street cruisers and drag‑strip racers, the Milodon Oil Pan excels in environments where engine output exceeds stock specifications. Whether you are upgrading a street‑legal muscle car, preparing a track‑day vehicle, or building a dedicated drag racer, this pan provides the oil capacity and flow control needed to keep internal components lubricated under extreme conditions. Its low‑profile design is especially beneficial for vehicles with limited under‑car clearance, preventing contact with the ground while still delivering a generous oil reservoir. Installation is straightforward for experienced mechanics; the pan bolts directly to the engine block, and when paired with the recommended Milodon oil pump and crush‑proof gasket, it creates a sealed, high‑efficiency oil system.

FAQ

What engines are compatible with the Milodon 30929 oil pan?

The 30929 oil pan is designed for a wide range of V8 and V6 performance engines that use a standard Milodon pickup oil pump. It is ideal for engines that have been modified for higher horsepower and torque, especially those used in street‑legal performance builds and drag‑strip applications.

Do I need a special gasket when installing this oil pan?

Yes, Milodon recommends using the crush‑proof oil pan gasket that is sold separately. This gasket ensures a tight seal, prevents leaks, and accommodates the low‑profile design of the pan.

Can this oil pan be painted or coated?

The pan comes with a factory‑applied gold finish that is both corrosion‑resistant and aesthetically pleasing. While it can be repainted, doing so may void the warranty and could affect the pan’s corrosion protection.

Is the oil pan suitable for daily street driving?

Absolutely. While it is engineered for high‑performance use, the pan’s robust construction and reliable oil control make it perfectly suitable for daily driving, providing added peace of mind for owners who demand both performance and reliability.

How does the low‑profile design affect oil capacity?

The low‑profile design is carefully engineered to retain a larger oil volume than many stock pans of similar dimensions. This increased capacity helps maintain consistent oil pressure and temperature, especially under high‑load conditions typical of performance driving.
