Need help with oil pan,which one to buy

[dano78]

well found a crack in my oil pan on my svt today. I was wondering if there is a factory updated/baffled oil pan to fit it?
Will an Escape pan work? I heard it was baffled, will it fit the 2.5l and is the stock svt pickup going to workwith it?

I copy and pasted this from TeamFord's (Bill Jenkins) website. I searched for Oil Pan for the Ford Contour 2.5L.

oil pan, contour, mystique - 2.5l - 2.5L 95-00 $145.43 $108.20
Engine - Lubrication - oil pan
Includes: Drain Plug & Gasket, Baffle, Bolts And Pan Gasket.

This is the updated Oil Pan with the gasket built in and the Baffle. I just replaced mine with this one. Best deal if you buy it from Jenkins.

Thanks for the help guys. I got the pan off and it appears to be an updated one already. I should be able to weld it up.

So is this updated oil pan the same exact thing and part number as the escape 3.0L pan?!?! ...

Just thought I'd post an update. I welded up my pan and no more leak! Poking around under my 98.5 CSVT I found a Ford reman label on the block with a 2003 build date, looks like a long block repalcement (no corrosion on the block or heads). The car has 80,000 miles on it and I don't think it's been on the road since 2004 or 2005, so the engine can't have very many miles on it :laugh: ! Anyway I believe that's why it has an updated pan on it.
