VE VF Holden Commodore LS3 L76 L77 L98 Improved Racing Baffled Race Sump Oil Pan

The GM LS family small blocks are prone to oil starvation at high Gs, especially at higher RPMs where oil aeration and windage is more prevalent. Proper oil pan baffling is critical for improving oil control and reducing oil starvation in these engines.

This VE oil pan is the pan of choice for most engine swaps as it provides the most steering rack and ground clearance of any GM pan. Using a factory GM pan allows you to retain the structural rigidity of a cast aluminium pan.

This kit includes Improved Racing's popular trap-door racing oil pan baffle, which helps prevent oil starvation in any application. Save money by purchasing the pan and baffle together!

This package couples the factory 5th generation (2010-Present) Camaro SS oil pan with Improved Racing's trap door oil pan baffle. This is a great pan for swaps, if you have the space for it, because of its high oil capacity of 8 quarts.

Features and Benefits:

• Track-proven to prevent oil starvation at up to 1.4 sustained lateral G's in most vehicles
• Directional trap door baffling completely encloses the oil pump pickup for maximum protection against oil starvation at high Gs
• Baffle plate with drain-back guides and drain-back slots help accelerate return of oil to the bottom of the sump while also preventing oil slosh and reducing oil consumption
• Reduces the risk of oil starvation when oil levels are low
• High-quality factory cast aluminum oil pan, which is considered a structural part of the engine block and is less prone to failure or leaking than aftermarket sheet metal pans
• Light-weight aluminum baffle
• 12 month warranty on oil pan baffle only
• Oil pan made in the USA
