Product Description

The **Moroso 20970 Baffled Aluminum Oil Pan** is a performance upgrade and direct-fit replacement for Toyota and Lotus engines using the 1ZZ or 2ZZ architecture. Its internally baffled wet sump design helps maintain consistent oil control during spirited driving and racing scenarios where oil starvation can stress the engine. Constructed from thick aircraft-grade aluminum with a billet rail, this oil pan is both strong and lightweight for competitive driving environments.

With provisions for turbocharger drain back and an oil temperature sender, the 20970 oil pan is ideal for road racing, drag racing, or high-performance street use on Toyota Celica, MR2 platforms, and Lotus Elise vehicles equipped with the 1ZZ/2ZZ engines. Designed to bolt directly in place of the stock pan using included metric hardware, it offers enhanced oil management without requiring modifications to the stock oil pump or pickup assembly.
