mdjdc Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I am doing a 2.2 swap this weekend and the oil pan on the 2.2 has a hole in it from the JY. Will the oil pan from the 2.5 fit on that motor? Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while though so look for a seconded opinion. Ultra-grey to seal. The old ones can be difficult to get started to remove - but it's not so bad when you don't care about it.

mdjdc Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thanks Dave. I was pretty sure that it would fit, but I didn't want to get down to it and find out that I needed a different pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I believ eno wories with fit or crossmember celarance. When I get a chance I'll drop you a PM on my health issues. They wanna inject steroids into my neck for starters! Doesn't sound like fun at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarl Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Yep... I have the old EJ25's in my EJ22. No problems whatsoever. Capacities will change, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 i have a 99 EJ22 pan i could send you if you needed it for some reason for cost of shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdjdc Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thanks Gary. I am doing the swap for a guy tomorrow and I will just use the pan off his 2.5 since it will fit. Having 5 qt capacity won't hurt either. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 You need to use the dip stick that matches the pan - IIRC the EJ25 pan's have an additional .5 quart capacity over the old flat-bottom pans. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Can someone confirm or deny this? I have always used the dipstick that matched the pan. But I'd think they would be the same because it's the bottom of the pan that's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdjdc Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 GD Thanks for that bit of info. Will do. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdemaris Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I am doing a 2.2 swap this weekend and the oil pan on the 2.2 has a hole in it from the JY. Will the oil pan from the 2.5 fit on that motor? Thanks guys. I've had to fix the oil pan in just about every Subaru I own. I've never had to replace. Just wire brushed. Then filled the pin-holes with an epoxy like J.B. Weld. Then painted with an anti-rust compound. I use Zero Rust but I'm sure there are others. I've never ever had one rust through or leak after that. I did my 1983 diesel Chevy Blazer back in 1985 and it's still fine. Fixing and then coating with something like Zero Rust results in something probably better then a new oil pan (unless you rust proof that too).

mdjdc Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 For me that would be fine, but it will take less time to just swap over the pan and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) i think the dip stick part numbers are the same, ej22 and ej25. i'll have to check. the ej25 pan is certainly larger, maybe deeper, and holds more oil. but i'll bet the pick up is the same, i'll have to check. and i'll bet the full level of the oil is the same distance from the bottom of the block in both. EDIT: yep, the same: click on usa legacy usage info. http://opposedforces.com/parts/info/11140AA046/ Edited December 9, 2011 by johnceggleston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Interesting - I was thinking that perhaps the pickup tube had changed..... though I suppose that wouldn't matter on retrospect. The pickup tubes might be different though.... not neccesarily on depth but on which side has the brace... GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
