Oil Pan Datsun/Nissan L24/L26/L28 RR Baffled

The Oil Pan Datsun/Nissan L24/L26/L28 RR Baffled from MOROSO is engineered for serious enthusiasts building or restoring classic Z-series and roadster platforms. This baffled oil pan design addresses a critical cooling and engine protection issue: oil sump starvation during aggressive driving, cornering, and high-RPM operation. Factory pan designs offer minimal baffle structure, allowing oil to slosh away from the pickup tube during dynamic driving conditions, risking engine damage and bearing wear. The MOROSO RR baffled design solves this problem with internal baffle construction that maintains consistent oil supply to the pickup regardless of vehicle attitude or acceleration forces.

This rear-sump pan features welded internal baffles that subdivide the oil volume into separate chambers, preventing oil surge and maintaining adequate lubrication pressure under lateral and longitudinal g-forces. The baffled design is particularly valuable for high-performance builds involving increased horsepower, forced induction, or track-focused modifications where engine protection becomes non-negotiable. The pan's 20-pound weight reflects robust steel construction designed to withstand the demands of modified L-series engines. Measuring 14 x 13.6 x 30.25 inches, the RR (rear-mounted) configuration positions the oil reservoir toward the back of the engine bay, accommodating the tight engine compartment geometry of vintage Datsun/Nissan chassis while maximizing ground clearance.

This pan is essential for L24, L26, and L28 engine swaps and restorations, particularly in competitive environments or high-power street applications. Installation requires standard drain plug removal and pan gasket replacement; verify fitment against your specific mounting configuration before purchase. Builders targeting reliability in modified Z30, Z31, or 240Z platforms will appreciate the insurance against oil starvation that baffled design provides during sustained driving or motorsport use. Pair this with quality synthetic oil and a thermostat-controlled cooler system for optimal results in demanding applications.
