5th/6th Gen Lower Oil Pan Difference?
Someone please school me on the oil pan differences between the 5th and 6th. From my understanding, the only difference is the placement of the drain. No other differences like capacity?
Anyone got pics?

I thought there were already some threads answering this question. Although I don't recall mention of the 6th gen lower oil pan, for some reason I was thinking that it was the 4th gen oil pan that was a direct replacement and relocated the drain to facing the passenger side.
I was looking into replacing it when I was installing the Cattman headers/y-pipe but opted against it at the time. I want to say when I priced one, it was about $40 through www.nissanpartsasap.com which is my local nissan parts dealer.
Here ya go. Two threads that have some great information. Doesn't answer the measurment issue, but if you're asking about interchangeability....this gives it to you!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say..... All VQ oil pans are the same.
My computer says the 03 Maxima Lower Oil Pans are the same as 00-01 I30s / 02-04 I35s / 02-03 Altima / 00 - 03 Maxima / And I know they are the same as RWD VQ35s, I just sold a 02 Maxima oil pan for a 05 G35.
