AMC 2.5L Oil Pan
« on: November 26, 2024, 12:23:01 PM »
Not for the Iron Duke, this is a specific question about the AMC 2.5L. Did they use the same oil pan as the Jeeps? Or was it an Eagle specific pan, like the 4.2L used?

I would say "yes"; they are the same.  Reasons are (from my AMC and Jeep parts books):

The 1983-only pan is part number 3241391; no matter what AMC vehicle.
The 1984-up pan part number is J3242883; same number for both AMC passenger cars and Jeep Wagoneer/Cherokee models.
Only difference between the '83 and '84-up pans seems to be the addition of a hole in the side for an oil level sensor.

That’s what I was guessing. Thank you!
