dave833 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Do the '97 EJ22 and '97 EJ25 engines use the same oil pan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 They are interchangable no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) The 2.2 has a flat bottom and +1 to Shawn. They're interchangeable as far as I know.

mdjdc Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave833 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdjdc Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The ones around here do the same thing. I think it is a regulation, like them not selling cats. Not sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave833 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 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.
