Are oil pans between 2.4 and 2.2 ecotecs interchangeable or would there be an issue in using one. looking at them it looked like they were the same.

reason i ask is because im turboing and if theyre the same i can get the one on the 2.2 welded with my return line fitting instead of removing my own and having my car down.

 

According to my GM parts book the 2.2 and 2.4 oil pan is the same part number...12578193

 

awesome. that sounds like a yes.

i hope it is a yes cuz i took the time to remove the sucker off a spare 2.2 motor my buddy has.

 

anyone thats a tech know if a 03 2.2 eco oil pan is acceptable on an 06 le5?

 

bump. look at the last one

 

I no longer have the GM parts database...call a dealer and ask them to look up the part number for the 03 Ecotec 2.2 oil pan and the part number for an 05/6/7 2.2 oil pan...if it lists the same number then it will be interchangeable.

 

ya i had a friend do that. but wut the guy also said was that the difference was that the 03 uses sealant wheras ours uses gasket.. i think im just gonna bite the bullet and pay the extra to get my pan dropped and done.
