What is your question?
Will a US oil pan work on the same 2001 MPV that is in Japan? I am overseas and oil pan needs to be replaced but it is 4 times more expensive in Japan, will a US oil pan fit properly?
How long has your 2001 Mazda MPV had this problem?
Noticed at last oil change, mechanics broke the threads in my oil pan
What’s wrong with a good used pan at 1/2 the price? I can’t think of any reason the ‘fitment’ would be any different. â–ªï¸Experienced mechanic can *easily repair* the drain plug threads!â–ªï¸ Simply re-thread up to next size .. Install ‘new’ drain plug .. Requires knowledge of the procedure .. Not something recommended for DIYer.
By repairing the existing oil pan - you’ll save a BUNCH of money. There is absolutely no excuse for ruining the drain plug threads on any oil pan!
