Default B&M Deep Aluminum Oil Pan

Has anyone used the B&M Deep oil pan on their truck? They make them for the 4L60 and 4L80. They are cast aluminum with fins for cooling, and hold an extra three quarts. At only about 160 bucks, seems like a decent thing to do for the tranny. It also has a drain plug for easy oil changes.

What does everyone think?

I have a Hughes, but the added tranny fluid capacity and drain plug are damn cool & functional, can't go wrong here!

Im buying one for my tranny in a couple of weeks when I do the shift kit. Definitely worth the money to keep that tranny cool, you would be suprized what 3 extra quarts do to lower tranny temps.

I agree. With as easy to kill as these 60s are, anything to keep them cool and clean is worth the money IMO
