Wondering if anyone here has an oil pan lying around they wouldn't mind measuring the wall thickness for me, primarily the passenger side. I recently installed an MS2 setup which works great and I'm ready for tututu noises from my engine bay.

its thick enough to tap for npt thread if that what you asking. If i remember the pan being about a 3/16 in thick on the side

Yeah its for a -10AN drain fitting. I may just end up drilling and tapping the boss on the engine block since I feel like the oil level is above where the pan attaches to the block on the passenger side due to the angle of the engine. I think I read somewhere this is where the euro 7 series turbo drains were.

Yes, but I also used thread sealant as well when I tapped the oil pan a couple of years ago.

It doesn't matter. Putting it on the drain hole is the same thing.

I've had a 1/2" npt hole in my pan for almost ten years now. Zero issues.
