I might be wrong, but I think the Ford replacement pan now comes with a gasket?

 

I believe the upgrade pan is for '18s and up.

 

I got rid of my '16 after the third replacement.. I noticed a pattern of using boost and then next oil change a leak. like pulling a trailer... boost. I think my motor had some blow-by which helped keep taking out the silicon gasket pans. Years later I now have a '22 with the same engine.. hoping the new pan and new EGR keeps the crankcase from pressurizing.. which I think was my '16s root cause of leaks.. figure out the root cause so you are not doing again next year.

 

I wouldn’t even bother. My oil pan has less than 10k miles on it and it leaks barely as well.

 

I got under my truck again and...just barely seeping. Think I will take my time gathering up and the parts and stuff needed for the swap. Would like to hear from someone that used the gasket from the guy on Ebay. Yes, it is a gasketless design from Ford, but he is pretty adamant his gasket works effectively.

 

Sounds like the pan is on backorder, but Ford Parts Giant says discontinued. Hopefully they'll have an improved design for the '15 and '16!

I spoke with my Ford parts guy who read it's a tooling issue with the oil pan supplier. Still hoping for an improved design even if it's aftermarket!

 

Wrong info: Might check americantrucks.com They have a metal pan for the 2.7 but it is on back order and not sure on ship date. Hopefully it comes in December like they are saying now. I don't have a leak yet but figured I'd get one before I needed it.

I looked, and all I find is the plastic pan. Do you have a link?

 

Removed link due to it not being metal like advertised.

That's the plastic pan.

 

Just called them and it is plastic even though it says steel.

 

I'm waiting for YOU to use that gasket and tell me. 🤣

 

Mine started to leak after 5k on the odometer had ford replace pan under warranty started leaking after another 6k i gave up that was back in 2015 still leaks i call it rust control

 

Wasn’t there a TSB for the oil pan leak? If any one could tell me if there is time limit to when a TSB expires if they do? I have 2018 that leaks. I noticed it the last time I changed the oil. It’s time to change it again and don’t want to fill it with new oil if I need to get the oil pan changed.
thanks

 

Here ya go....they just released a new one for the 15-17s last week.. You'll hsve to ask a mechanic about a time frame, but this isnt a recall its a TSB. If you have a leak this would be the repair. (I dont know much about the 18' and newer as my truck is a 17. So maybe there's a newer TSB? Worth asking a dealer)
Good luck with it though. Hope this helps

 

Heres the 15-17 TSB if anyone is looking. Makes the 15-17 pan convert to the 18 I guess with. PCV valve?! Read somewhere about pressure being to high causing the leak. Dont know how accurate that is.

 

I got 16 with 60k on the odometer and have noticed a small leak on the pan bolts since about 40k. With the new TSB I asked Ford for pricing and they want $1850 to replace the pan and head plates. This is ridiculous for failed design on the plastic pans. Curious if the eBay gasket works on the existing pan or if I should bite the bullet?

 

Don't buy parts from eBay.

 

I have the 2017, 2.7, pan changed twice before the retooled pan was designed, installed in mid march 2023, w/new valve covers. I'm told not to trust the ebay version. I almost went that route. With the valve covers needing to be replaced, I'm glad I didn't. Have about 15,000 miles and no leaks. Hopes this helps.

 

If you got the part numbers, post them up. They help other 2.7 owners in the future.
