The Spectra Premium FP41A oil pan for the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar 2.0L, 1998-2000 Ford Contour 2.0L and 1998-2000 Mercury Mystique 2.0L holds the engine's oil at the bottom of the engine, where the oil pump pickup draws it in.
- Engineering, manufacturing technology and quality control are intended to make this pan meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment it replaces.
- Powder-coated finish on the pan.
- Wet sump design, with the sump at the front of the pan.
- 17 mounting holes.
- Drain thread size: M14 - 1.5.
- Maximum depth: 71 mm.
Oil spots where the car sits, a dent or crack in the pan, or a drain plug thread that no longer holds can mean the oil pan needs replacing. Those signs alone don't prove the pan is at fault, since a leaking valve cover gasket can also send oil down the engine.
It is a direct-fit replacement for the L4-2.0L engine in the 1998-2000 Ford Contour, 1998-2000 Mercury Mystique and 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, with one oil pan per engine.
