If you add three 6MM, threaded with inserts, holes just south of the three holes in the top of the drawing, you or anyone else, can either install the Renesis OR the stock 13B oil pan. The original holes are used to bolt the plate to the engine and the three additional holes will accommodate three of the 13B oil pan bolts. If you install the Renesis pan, the three holes for the 13B are covered up. I can't tell you the dimensions for the three holes, but you could get them off a 13B oil pan. This allows 5 quarts of oil in the sump, plus whatever is in the cooler, engine, etc. I haven't done it yet, but I expect that it will take 7 quarts to change the oil in my engine with this setup.
