Quick EJ22/25 oil pan question...

Featured Replies

Do the '97 EJ22 and '97 EJ25 engines use the same oil pan?

I think the 2.5 has the flat bottom and the 2.2 has the rounded bottom. The bolt pattern is the same. You will need a tube of RTV and there is a cup seal that sits over a tube in the back. Subaru item.

The 2.2 has a flat bottom and +1 to Shawn.

They're interchangeable as far as I know.

The 2.2 pan is 4 ats and the 2.5 is 5 qts. Personally, I would use a 2.5 pan on a 2.2 motor but not the other way around. I would want the extra capacity for cooling on the 2.5.

I'm going to put a 2.5 pan on a 2.2. Got a junkyard 2.2 for a swap into a 97 2.5GT but the, uh, geniuses at the pick and pull yard drill HOLES in the oil pans of all the engines for some reason! They couldn't take 30 seconds to remove the drain plugs?

The ones around here do the same thing. I think it is a regulation, like them not selling cats. Not sure though

I guess drilling a couple of holes in the lowest part of the pan assures that it drains completely- Sometimes the drain plug isn't in the lowest part of the pan, for reasons I've never understood.
