Looked up the oil pans on the internet and it calls for one pan for a 95-97 and another for 98-00. The retail is like $180 dollars on the earlier one which is aluminum and the later one retails for $44. I am wondering if it was a cost cutting measure and the latter is a steel pan and they still might interchange. Anyone know? Thanks Rod
 
Apparently nobody knows, but it's a good idea to go for the steel pan for your model's year,

why they made it aluminum?:confused::confused::confused:....I wouldn't care because I wouldn't buy it.

Cheers
 
the later oil pans have the deep bit on the opposite side to the early ones. even if they are interchangeable there would be an issue with the downpie
