I was wondering if there was something like that. Good idea! 💡 -
You could use a drop shipping company. Buy from US ship to Germany | Free US Address

@Cossie you could attempt to make a similar "baffle" from aluminum replication the white plastic one seen on the original pan. Also, what about running with a slightly higher oil level, like an additional 500ml? Are you using the original dipstick?
-
Omar302, "The opening appears to be sealed" – no, it is a wide gap, roughly 1 cm high and 6–7 cm wide, allowing the oil to flow in. This means the oil at the bottom is shielded from the flow occurring above the intake pipe. The higher engine speed in S mode makes sense, as more oil is being pumped, meaning there is insufficient oil available at the bottom for a brief period. And, as Samurai Edge also suspects, the missing cover in the aluminum sump is likely the cause of the issue.

Thanks for your Answer, That’s what I suspect, too. The design of the intake pipe cover allows more engine oil to accumulate, ensuring it gets drawn in. In the aluminum pan, there is likely too much turbulence at speed, which hinders the intake process. So, I’ll probably have to buy a plastic pan—if I can still find one. My search has revealed that none of the spare parts suppliers in the USA ship to Germany.

+1 I am not able to see what it picks up. The hole seems closed off and as if it can't suck any oil!! Also, as there is an oil pressure sensor, the engine output is probably being cut when pressure is dropping. And on S being earlier is probably because it doesn't upshift to 6th and engine speed is staying at a higher RPM longer compared to D where it would upshift to 6th. -

This looks like your oil pan: https://ford.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/ford-oil-pan-ft4z6675d What I am not seeing / finding is an oil pan pick-up anywhere I look. That could be the problem right there. The oil pick-up, being smaller on the aluminum pan sounds like the culprit. A smaller than designed oil pick-up could create an oil starvation issue, but that's my thought. When you look at the oil pick-up area on the OEM pan, it looks like that white " plastic cover " creates a larger area for the oil to gather for pick-up into the motor. The aluminum pan has no such area but pick up directly from the open pan area. A typical oil pick-up has section at the end of the pick-up tube that sits bathed in the oil to suck in the oil in the pan. I think the OEM white " plastic cover " is that section I described above which is clearly missing from the aluminum pan. Presuming you didn't change anything else, looks like you know your issue. -

I do not use this forum on a mobile. My mobile, a phone, is a phone. Phone screen is too small for such things as this forum. -
Hello Samurai Edge, I’ve been getting this error message on my Sport (2.7L, 108k) ever since I installed the aluminum oil pan. The vehicle doesn't shut off; it just briefly throttles the speed and continues driving normally, though it won't go faster than 170 km/h. My car has had its speed limiter removed; previously, it was capped at 211 km/h -2018 Import to Germany. After the unlock in 2019, I did a test run up to 244 km/h—which was fast enough for me. I first noticed the issue during an overtaking maneuver that I couldn't complete because the car slowed me down. Up to 170 km/h, the car drives completely normally. In Sport mode (S), the error kicks in earlier (at 145 km/h) than in Drive mode (D). The plastic oil pan was replaced, and I suspect the issue lies with the intake pipe in the center of the pan. The plastic version has a wider oil inlet there, whereas the aluminum pan has very little clearance milled out around the pickup pipe. I don't know for sure if that's the reason, though.

We shall see. I can't say as my wife made no mention a noise leading into our last trip in late September. The noise started late into the trip. I'll update as it progresses though.
