Bobby, it looks like the Renesis oil pan can be modified into a deep wedge shape with much more capacity and with the pick up deeply covered in oil. This shape would also be better in steep climbs. Modifying the original pan would cost less than making a new one from scratch. For those who are NOT planning on putting the radiator underneath, there is no practical limit on pan capacity. For those who plan to put the radiator underneath (which is my interest) then the shape of the pan needs to correspond with the top of the wedge shaped radiator plenum. I will make a card board mockup on your pan this weekend and send pics. Jerry On Tuesday, May 31, 2005, at 03:15 PM, Bobby J. Hughes wrote: Jerry, I would feel much better with a minimum of 7 quarts. The Greddy RX8 aftermarket oil pan is also larger than stock.

He said it would need to be modified to fit with Fred's mounting plate. I have attached the oil info from the RX8 shop manual. It looks like the 6 port has more oil capacity.

I am trying to determine if I can use the 13 B pick up tube in a custom oil pan for a Renesis. If not, the Renesis pick up tube will have to be modified. FYI,The 13 B oil pan is two inches deeper than the Renesis pan and holds 158 oz. The Renesis oil pan holds 96 oz. At oil change how much oil does the Renesis take? The 13B takes 5 qts with filter.
