The billet aluminum CJM Active Baffle Oil Pan for the (07–08) 350Z and (09+) 370Z is engineered to improve the lubrication system of your VQ engine.
Integrated into the pan is a dedicated sump surrounding the oil pump pickup. Active one-way trap doors allow oil to flow easily into the sump while greatly slowing its departure during high lateral-G maneuvers. Vertical longitudinal baffles guide returning oil from the rear of the upper pan directly into the sump.
These improvements in oil control help reduce the risk of oil pickup starvation during aggressive driving, contributing to longer bearing and oil pump life.
Oil capacity is increased by approximately 0.5 quarts over the factory pan through a deeper sump — the most effective way to add capacity while improving fluid control and starvation protection. Overall depth remains above the front suspension cross-member, keeping the pan within the factory lower engine shroud and protected from road debris. The additional capacity also helps stabilize oil temperatures and extend oil life between changes. To accommodate the added depth, the kit includes a pump pickup spacer and extended hardware.
Additional surface area on the lower portion of the pan acts as a heat sink, aiding in air-cooling.
The drain plug has been relocated to the rear bottom of the pan to improve draining when the front of the vehicle is raised on jack stands. A low-profile drain plug (-8AN O-ring) with three reusable O-rings is included.
The pan has -10AN o-ring ports on both the left and right for turbo oil drains. Plugs are included, adapter fittings are optional.
