Congratulations! You have just pur-
chased one of the finest cast alumi-
num pans available for the Ford E4OD/
4R100 Transmission. The B&M E4OD/
4R100/5R100 TORQUE-SHIFT Cast
Aluminum Deep Oil Pan has been
designed to work on most 1989 and
newer Ford trucks with the E4OD/
4R100 transmission. The B&M E4OD/
4R100/5R100 TORQUE-SHIFT Cast
Aluminum Deep Oil Pan provides
several advantages over stock factory
oil pans. The extra capacity provides
increased oil volume and added cool-
ing, while the aluminum construction
increases case rigidity. The drain plug
feature allows regular transmission
maintenance and oil changes without
the usual mess associated with “drop-
ping the pan.”
This B&M E4OD/4R100/5R100
TORQUE-SHIFT Cast Aluminum
Deep Oil Pan can be installed by any-
one with minimum mechanical expe-
rience. It is however, important to
closely follow the instructions.
We recommend that you read through
the instructions completely before be-
ginning the installation, so you can fa-
miliarize yourself with the installation
procedure. Check the tool list at the
end of these instructions for the tools
required to install your B&M E4OD/
4R100/5R100 TORQUE-SHIFT Cast
Aluminum Deep Oil Pan.
When installing your Deep Oil Pan
there are several other B&M products
you may wish to consider:
TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER: We
feel that it is very important that every
vehicle should have a transmission oil
cooler in addition to the radiator heat
exchanger. Heat is the major cause of
transmission failures, and an oil cooler
is an inexpensive safeguard against
overheating. B&M offers a wide range
of transmission coolers to suit every
need, which are available at your B&M
dealer.
TRICK SHIFT PERFORMANCE ATF:
Trick Shift performance automatic
transmission fluid is the industry’s
leading performance ATF. A specially
blended oil with foam inhibitors, ex-
treme pressure agents and shift im-
provers, this fluid assures protection
while delivering the fastest possible
shifts. You literally “Pour in perfor-
mance.” Available at your B&M dealer.
INTRODUCTION
This Deep Oil Pan can be installed in
about an hour by carefully following the
instructions. Transmission compo-
nents are precision fit and dirt is the
number one enemy of an automatic
transmission. Cleanliness is very im-
portant, so a clean work surface from
which oil can easily be removed is
necessary.
Caution: Automatic transmissions op-
erate at temperatures between 150°F
and 250°F. It is suggested that the
vehicle be allowed to cool off for a few
hours to avoid burns from hot oil and
parts. The vehicle should be off the
ground for ease of installation - jack
stands, wheel ramps or a hoist will
work fine.
MAKE SURE VEHICLE IS FIRMLY
SUPPORTED - DO NOT WORK UN-
DER A VEHICLE IF IT IS SUP-
PORTED BY ONLY A JACK! Note:
4WD models may not need to be
lefted to install pan. Try to raise the
vehicle 1-2 feet so you will have plenty
of room to work. Also, have a small
box to put bolts in and a drain pan to
catch oil.
