Default oil pan compatiblity

Hey guys forgive me if this has been covered somewhere, i tried searching about oil pans in a few different ways and couldn't come up with sure enough answer that i felt comfortable enough with..

My question is which 2JZGE pans can I use on my GS? from what i understand Aristo's and GS300's use front sump, where i guess our oil pickups are more towards the front? and SC300's, Soarer's use rear sump?

Bought a GS for my wife, I went to change the oil and noticed the oil pan is dented in pretty good, don't know how long it's been like this i guess i the previous owner tried jacking it up on the pan, for the life of me i don't know how anyone thought that would be a good idea.. its pushed in probably about 2 inches, car seems to run awesome, it would just be a piece of mind for me to go ahead and change it out ..

Thanks

SC300's have 2jzge, oversea's the soarer can come with a 1JZGTE, 2JZGE, or 1UZFE...........

Not what kind of oil pans you could go with, but I'm thinking maybe any VVTI GS300 or IS300 pan should work? i know the SC300 2jz pans are probably more plentiful though.

You can use all 2jz front sump oil pans.should take out the oil pan and check it soon cause the oil pick up is around 2-3 away from the oil pan and you wouldn't want it to either block off or hit the oil pick up cause you won't have 100% flow.

so any year GS will work and any IS300? just want to make sure i get a oil pan that will work, I know where plenty of SC300 2j's are which sucks since i guess i can't use those..


yeah i'd like to get it changed out for sure, the car had the pan like that when i bought it, i didn't notice till i did my first oil change, not sure how long the previous owner drove it like this, the car does have 220k on it though, so i guess if it's doing any damage it's doing very little and maybe will add up over time..

definetly plan on getting it changed out though
