[Chrysler300] 300F Oil Pan

["Tom Cox" <tdcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

Tom

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!
