Update from my first couple of days running with the new oil pan. Cruising oil temps are down about 8 degrees under normal conditions vs the spacer setup I had before. Also, my initial fill was almost exactly 6 quarts (slightly under), given the extra drainage from having the pan off (keep in mind I have a cooler too, but with the fittings on top).

One question I didn't see answered in the instruction booklet: is there any gasket or O-ring on the new drain plug that needs replacing on oil changes?
