Baffled Performance Oil Pans

The best baffled oil pans depend on your car: for a Subaru WRX or WRX STI with an EJ20 or EJ25, the Moroso aluminum pan and the Killer B Motorsport high performance pans are the core options in this collection, while Nissan shoppers get an HKS transmission oil pan upgrade for the 2009-2015 GT-R and a GReddy high capacity oil pan for the 2003-2009 350Z. A Victor Reinz gasket set for the 1989-1990 240SX and a Killer B hardware kit round out the supporting parts. Check your year and model first.

An oil pan holds the engine oil supply, and a baffled performance pan is designed to keep oil around the pickup during hard cornering, braking, and acceleration, when oil can slosh away from it. Higher capacity versions also add oil volume. Shoppers compare material, baffling, pickup combinations, and whether hardware or gaskets are included, then match the pan to their engine in the wider oil system build.

Killer B Motorsport supplies the Subaru core of this collection, with high performance pans for the 2002-2014 WRX and 2004-2021 WRX STI, including a cast version and a combo with an OG style pickup and baffle, plus a separate hardware kit. Judge it here by its EJ-platform oil control parts: pan, pickup, and baffle working as one system.

Moroso offers the aluminum alternative, with its aluminum oil pan for WRX and WRX STI models with the EJ20 and EJ25 from 2002-2020. This pan is the direct cross-shop against the Killer B options for the same Subaru engines.

HKS is the Japanese performance name behind the transmission side of this collection, with a transmission pan upgrade for the 2009-2015 Nissan GT-R. It is a different job from the engine pans above, aimed at the GT-R transmission, not the engine oil supply.

GReddy covers the Nissan Z side with a high capacity oil pan for the 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z, for shoppers who want added oil capacity in a bolt-on pan. Victor Reinz is named here unlinked for its 240SX gasket set, and our guide to Subaru engine modifications puts oil control in context with other engine upgrades.

Why choose a baffled oil pan?

Baffling helps keep oil around the pickup when the car corners, brakes, or accelerates hard. That is why track and fast road Subaru builds pair a performance pan with the matching pickup and baffle parts here.

Is the HKS pan an engine oil pan?

No. The HKS listing in this collection is a transmission oil pan upgrade for the 2009-2015 Nissan GT-R, not an engine pan. Check the product title carefully so you order the pan for the system you are working on.

Do I need hardware or a gasket with a new pan?

This collection lists a Killer B Motorsport oil pan hardware kit for the 2002-2014 WRX, 2004 and newer WRX STI, and 2004-2008 Forester XT, and a Victor Reinz gasket set for the 1989-1990 240SX. Check what your pan includes before ordering supporting parts.

Does a high capacity pan fit under my car like stock?

Fitment is application specific: the GReddy pan is listed for the 2003-2009 350Z and the Moroso pan for EJ20 and EJ25 WRX and WRX STI models from 2002-2020. Check your year and model and confirm clearance details on the product page.
