Hello I have a 2001 Honda Civic Ex that has 157,000 miles on it. The place I got my oil pan changed at, at some point stripped out the drain plug hole on the oil pan so I need a new one. I am only able to find the part at the stealership and its $310.00. Apparently the 1.7L engine in the EX has a different oil pan from the DX/LX models for some damn reason. Does anyone know where I can get this part for a little cheaper than $310.00 and will the DX/LX pan work possibly?

 

Same block, different heads so, you could use the DX/LX pan but it holds slightly less oil. Also, the DX/LX is a steel pan and needs a gasket while the EX is an aluminum pan and needs RTV. Any 2001-2005 EX or HX pan will work.

Nationwide salvage listings: Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market You should be able to pick one up for $50-100.

 

Can anyone else confirm that the DX/LX will bolt right up I'm getting conflicting thoughts from people :/

 

bump!
