what are your hp goals? Is your stock one fine, like no dents? I mean if your gonna pretty much stay stock I would just keep the OEM one. Thats my Opinion. I could be wrong but Im sticking with the stock one since my oem is fine. Plus Im poor =(

Well, if you're gonna replace it anyway, get a Greddy one. It's not THAT much more expensive than a new OEM one. In addition to the extra volume of oil it holds, it's got some little cooling fins on the outside. And, it looks *****in'!

No contest, the Greedy by far: more oil holding compacity than stock, it has a baffel so the oil stays right by the oil pick-up where needed, the bottom of the pan isnt so close to the oil pick-up, so you dont have to worry about denting the pan and interfeering with the the oil flow, and last but not least, there is a port for a oil temp sensor, so you can hookup an oil temp gauge. Its preety cheap insurance for ur motor when you think about it.

it's all about money. I would have an oilcooler before aftermarket bigger pan. oilcooler takes another qt and cools oil down. OEM pan is not that expensive. parts on ebay is always cheap.
