Raptor pan is deeper and no drain plug.
I do not know the Ford part number but I did a Goggle re the Raptor and came up with a bunch of upgrade pans for the 6R80 so I presume that equates to the 6HP28 that is on the 4's.
Regardless, the ZF polyamide oilpan part number, 0501 215 789 is the same for the Ford Australia, Ford USA, Jaguar and Range Rover for the 6HP26/26X or 28/28X and metal pan # is 1068 203 042.
The stock Ford Raptor pan is deeper than our plastic pan on the ZF metal replacement but does not have a oil drain. Why a drain plug is becoming the first cost cutting item is just beyond me.
Just a couple of weeks ago, I had my local tranny shop drain the oil and install a new plastic ZF pan; last done 50 thousand miles ago.
The shop here just plain refuses to install a metal pan as he regards the ZF as cold temperature fussy. Rather than cooling, I guess up here, the concern is winter and the oil remaining closer to grease than a fluid. As such, I continue to install the plastic pan. Last time, it was 800 dollars, 3 years later, a thousand - progress.
As to the ZF metal pan holding less oil, I guess that is possible but that surprises me. I could understand that the seperate oil filter as opposed to the integral filter making it appear the oil quantity is different, but less would surprise me. Also I cannot really find in any ZF literature just how much oil a ZF tranny is supposed to require. There is some factory dry fill data, but since no one can measure how much is hanging inside all the channels after a drain, it seems ZF is shy about saying how much new oil is needed - instead they talk temperature.
I do not seem to recall the Ozzies complaining about less oil but for the most part, they install a Ford pan off one of their locally produced Ford 4x4 SUV/station wagons.
Actually this time my tranny guy was smarter - he remembered how time consuming the job was and got back a little from last time.
The link below is kind of a reality check - maybe our 3's are not so bad. If you dig more into the Raptor forums, there seems to be a lot of discussion re the Ford tranny recalls.
