Re: [Chrysler300] 300F Oil Pan

["Charlie Valentine" <cross.ram@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe that the correct oil pan has a "402" embossed on in. If I remember correctly about an inch high, raised out as you look at the pan.

  Thanks Doug.

  I agree. After consideration, I have decided to get a correct oil pan. I
  thought the one I bought new was the right one, but obviously it isn't.
  Hindsight would indicate that I should have measured it but I'm not that
  wise. Thanks for the response. 

  Best wishes. Hope you are enjoying the summer.

  Boy, Tom,

  I don't believe I'd use that oil pan. period. Doesn't Murray Park have 
  a good 413 pan? Chrysler made hundreds of thousands of the things; 
  there have got to be correct pans around. I would have said nothing, 
  but you opened the flood gates by asking for opinions. And they are 
  expensive--you have to read this and all the others!
