$750 and still no O-ring?

That's a great question. Before we designed our first oil pan (over a decade ago) we looked at designs from many different platforms and manufacturers. There were oil pans with o-rings on the flanges. Common complaints from users of those pans was that the o-ring leaked over time, was difficult to install or both.

Some pans with shallow groove depth maintained a good seal but the o-ring would pop out during installation. Users would put RTV on the o-ring to keep it in place.

Other pans with deeper groove depths would hold the o-ring in place well but not compress enough to make a good seal (imperfections in the mating surface), so people would add RTV.

If we were to do an o-ring, it would be custom molded, but that still doesn't guarantee a proper seal.

At the end of the day when applied correctly a liquid sealant is the best option for most users. It fills in imperfections in both mating surfaces and removes one more manufacturing operation that could be a point of failure.

Fun fact, we use a proprietary casting process that allows thinner walls with no draft required. A benefit of using this process technology is that it allows pan geometry that can hold more oil. More oil means more 'residence time' (the time oil spends in the sump before it gets sucked back into the engine). Any increase is residence time will decrease aeration. Improved oil residence time has been shown to de-aerate oil better than 'de-aeration baffles'. Improvements in de-aeration increase oil pressure, reduce heat, and improve overall lubrication system function.
