I replaced my oil pan , but the mechanic put a TL base model oil pan on my car . I was wondering if that would hurt my car in the long run ? Or am I losing any horse power ? The car drives fine and there is no oil lights on or anything .

 

are the part numbers different?

 

the two parts look different , but I don't know about the part number .

 

im pretty sure bottom should be same unless the j32a2 has different oil pick up then it will be serious problem...

 

same part numbers from what i see. Not sure why they would look different

I'm not sure, but I think the oil pan is from a first gen TL , or it might be from a 99 TL , because it looks kind of old and its not smooth like the original oil pan. What would happen if there is a different oil pick up ?
