Hello everyone,
My daughter cracked her Alum. oil pan on her 2000 Civic EX and I cant find
a cheap replacement. Can anyone pont me to the right place ? I was thinking of
using JB weld on it, but dont know if it will hold. I know I have to prep the surface
really good, but have anyone on this forum done this before ?
Can I use a steel pan ? If so, please provide me a link.

Thanks,
Ram
 
tired Ebay, but the ones for the EX are in the $200 range. The other pans on
there dont include the EX as one compatible models. Can a steel pan be used
in place of the alum pan ?
 
JB weld is fine. If you can remove the oil pan and clean it inside and out, then jb weld it up you should be ok.

Edit: You can also bring it to a weld shop and have them weld the crack
 
Thanks Turbo,
I am going to attempt to remove it, but dont know how to deal with the rusted
exhaust screw and what looks like a transmission support mount which I dont know if it needs to come off ? I dont want an oil pan replacement to turn into a
re-tapping of the exhaust manifold because I dont have taps ! :) Any advice ?
 
wow, when i bought my new oil pan for my mirage it was like $87 from the dealer. fuck honda.


got pics?
 
get some PB blaster to loosen up rusted bolts, should make it alot easier. i have used jb weld on an oil pan of mine when putting in a oil return line, worked fine but if you can i would weld the crack instead of JB'ing it. just call your local welding shop and see how much they would charge. you should be able to pick up a used y8 pan in a honda forum for around 30.
 
I used JB weld to fix a crack in my moroso 5.5 quart pan. It cracked off a weld where the return line goes. Took me forever to find out what the hell was leaking. But hey 700 miles later no leak at all. I grinded on the crack with a dremel and cleaned it with lacquer thinner before applying the jb weld.
 
Best bet is to use matching oil pickup. Doing that; you can run any 88-00 D-series pan(just use corresponding oil pickup).

JB weld is some good shit. Iv used it on oil pans, transmission leaks and way more it holds up fine but like Turbo&Auto said your gonna want the oil pan off and do it good so you wont have to worry about it for probably a couple years.
 
do not use JB weld, I just had to remove that crap from my cousins trans. pan she bought it from some guy that tried to fix the problem that way. of course this was also a steel transmission pan so I just welded it, it was leaking like crazy.
 
Bring it to an exhaust shop, and have them weld it. Then whip out a dremel and clean up the weld. Then remember to use some high-temp rtv with the gasket.
 
You can use any 88-00 D-series pan as long as you use the corresponding pickup, also the D16Y7 ('96-'00 non vtec) pickup is the same as the D16Y8 ('96-'00 vtec) pickup, so it's a straight pan swap in that case. The only difference is you won't be able to re-use the Y8 tranny-oilpan L-brackets, but you should be fine without them anyways.

TurboMirage, I need to replace oil pan on my mirage. If you remember, can you tell me what dealer did you buy it from? The price is good.
 
JB weld is a great temporary fix, but it is only temporary.

Take it to the shop and have it welded up. Shouldn't run you more than $30.
