A race engine doesn't fail because it runs out of oil.
It fails because the oil pump runs out of oil.
During hard cornering, braking, and acceleration, engine oil is forced away from the pickup. Even a brief loss of oil pressure can damage bearings, score crankshafts, and end an otherwise great race.
The BK Racing Ecotec Oil Pan is engineered to improve oil control by helping maintain a consistent supply of oil around the pickup during the extreme conditions encountered in racing.
This isn't just another oil pan—it's a complete Oil Control System designed to help protect your engine when it matters most.
Why Oil Control Matters
Most race teams change their engine oil long before it begins to break down.
While increasing oil capacity can help reduce oil temperatures and extend oil life, capacity alone cannot prevent the oil pickup from uncovering during sustained cornering in a wet sump setup.
Oil control does.
That's why BK Racing focused on controlling the movement of the oil instead of simply adding more of it.
Keeping oil where the pump needs it is one of the most effective ways to help protect your engine from oil starvation.
BK Racing Oil Control System
At the heart of every BK Racing Oil Control Pan is our integrated Oil Control System.
Engineered specifically for the demands of circle track racing, the system allows oil to flow toward the pickup while helping prevent it from rushing away during hard cornering, braking, and acceleration.
Rather than trapping oil inside a completely enclosed box, the BK Racing design continuously allows oil to replenish the pickup area while controlling oil movement throughout the sump.
The result is more consistent oil control during the conditions that matter most.
Starts with a Brand-New OEM GM Oil Pan
Every BK Racing Oil Control Pan begins with a brand-new OEM GM cast aluminum oil pan.
No used cores.
No repaired pans.
No questionable sealing surfaces.
Just OEM quality combined with race-engineered oil control.
Designed for Racers
Oil starvation can destroy an engine in seconds.
A spun bearing doesn't just replace a set of bearings—it can ruin the crankshaft, connecting rods, block, cylinder head, and an entire race weekend.
Compared to the cost of rebuilding an engine, improving oil control is inexpensive insurance.
Whether you're racing on asphalt or dirt, maintaining a consistent oil supply is one of the smartest investments you can make in engine reliability.

The BK Racing Difference
At BK Racing, we don't develop products simply to add another part to the catalog.
Every product we engineer is designed to solve a real problem racers face.
The Ecotec Oil Control Pan was developed to address one of the leading causes of race engine failures—oil starvation.
Every design decision was made with one objective:
Improve oil control. Increase reliability. Keep racers on the track.
When you're driving into the corner at the limit, confidence matters.
Confidence starts with knowing your engine has the oil it needs.
Vehicle Fitment
Compatible with GM Ecotec engines utilizing the OEM cast aluminum oil pan. Please verify compatibility with your specific engine application before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace an oil pan without removing an engine?
In many cases, yes. Installation depends on the vehicle and chassis layout. Verify access and fitment for your specific GM Ecotec application before starting the job.
Is it worth replacing an oil pan?
If your current pan is damaged or you need better oil control for racing, replacing it can help protect the engine and improve reliability under hard driving conditions.
Who makes the best oil drain pan?
This product is an oil control pan for racing applications, not a drain pan. BK Racing focuses on Ecotec performance parts designed to help manage oil under race conditions.
