Using this ISR Performance oil pan kit is straightforward. First, make sure your Nissan 350Z from 2003 - 2008 is properly prepared for the LS swap. If you're using the ISR Mount kit, it will fit seamlessly. If you've made custom mounts, double - check the fit. Install the oil pan with the included oil pick - up tube and O - ring. Then, insert the oil dipstick. When using your car on the track, the integrated baffling in the oil pan will keep your engine well - lubricated and prevent oil starvation. For maintenance, regularly check the oil level using the dipstick. Also, inspect the O - ring on the oil pick - up tube for any signs of wear. Replace it if necessary to ensure a proper seal.
