New oil pan for 2.5L 4-cyl

[socal1200r]

Does anyone know where I can get a new oil pan for my 2.5L 4-cyl? It's Jeep part number 53020831, and the stealer wants $131 for a new one. I checked eBay, but no listings for a 4-cyl. Emailed some of the sellers on eBay, and they don't have one, or can't get one.

 

If anyone has any possible sources, shoot me an email with the info, and I'll contact them. My email is: socal1200r@yahoo.com

 

Thanks!

If you want a used one, the PnP has a couple. There's an 87 MJ in there right now with the 2.5L.

Thanks Paul - I might have to get a used one, if I can't get my hands on a new one at a decent price...

Well, I've had no luck with finding a new oil pan for the 2.5L in my MJ, so it looks like I'll be making a trip to the dealer. I had the oil and filter changed the other day, and the technician who did the work wanted me to see the oil drain plug. It was one of those rubber/brass butterfly nut gizmos, and he said chances are the threads on the drain plug were stripped, that's why one of those things were used. I've got a good-size oil leak now under the oil pan, not sure exactly where it's coming from, but there's oil drops accumulating on the drain plug. It's pretty sludgy underneath there, and the technician said I should install a new oil pan. I asked him how hard it would be to change it, and he said the starter would have to be removed, but other than that, it looked pretty straight-forward.

 

So the local Jeep dealer wants $131 for the oil pan, and hopefully that comes with a drain plug. I'll ask the dealer what a new oil pan gasket would cost, but may end up buying one at the local auto parts store instead. We'll see...
