R/R Oil Pan - Olds V8

The CANTON R/R Oil Pan for Oldsmobile V8 engines (part number 15-502) is a rear-sump street and strip performance oil pan engineered for serious engine builders and racers. This rear-sump configuration relocates oil capacity away from the front of the engine bay, a critical advantage for vehicles running low ride heights or modified suspension geometry where traditional front-sump pans risk ground contact. The 6-quart capacity and 8.25-inch depth provide ample oil volume for extended street driving and sustained high-RPM road race conditions without requiring supplemental external reservoirs.

Constructed from steel and finished in cadmium plating, this pan resists corrosion and thermal degradation during intense driving sessions. The cadmium coating protects against oxidation while maintaining thermal stability critical for race engine environments where underbody temperatures reach extremes. At 15 pounds, the pan carries minimal weight penalty while delivering the structural rigidity required for vibration suppression at high RPM. The 13 x 10.25 x 27-inch overall dimensions are optimized for Oldsmobile V8 engine bays, ensuring proper fitment without interference with exhaust systems, suspension components, or frame rails typical in street and strip builds.

This pan suits builders pursuing Oldsmobile V8 engine swaps, restomod projects, or track-focused street cars where aggressive body drops or lowered suspension compromises clearance for conventional pans. Road racers benefit from the rear-sump design's ability to maintain consistent oil supply under cornering loads and sustained acceleration—conditions where front-sump geometry causes oil starvation. Whether for vintage drag racing, autocross competition, or weekend street duty, the CANTON rear-sump pan addresses the real-world clearance and lubrication challenges that standard equipment cannot overcome.
