Direct-fit steel pan for the Ford 6R80 with a drain plug and gasket included, so F-150 and Mustang fluid changes drain clean without dropping the pan.
Anyone who has serviced a 2011-2018 F-150, a 2011-2017 Mustang, Expedition or Navigator knows the problem with the factory 6R80 oil pan: there is no drain plug. Every fluid change means loosening the pan bolts, prying the pan down and catching the fluid as it pours over the edge. This is a direct-fit stamped steel replacement pan that replaces Ford BR3Z-7A194-A (cross-referenced as 265-854), with a threaded drain plug already installed and a pan gasket in the box. It is also the part to buy when your original pan is rusted at the flange, dented from the trail, or leaking at the bolt holes.
The 6R80 is Ford's six-speed rear-drive automatic, and the pan is the sump the pump pulls from through the filter. Directly above it sit the valve body and the molded lead frame that carries the speed sensors and range sensor, so the pan is also the cover you remove for any filter, solenoid or lead frame repair. This replacement keeps stock capacity rather than adding a deep sump, so your fill volume and the level at the check plug stay where Ford designed them. The only functional change is the drain: pull the plug, let the old Mercon LV run into a pan, reinstall the plug and refill. That makes partial drain-and-fill services, which many owners repeat two or three times to freshen most of the fluid, a fast job instead of a messy one.
A wet pan does not always mean a bad pan. On the 6R80, fluid also escapes from the case connector where the external harness plugs in, from the cooler lines and from the output seal, and it can run down and drip off the pan lip. Transmission Digest documented a 2009 F-150 whose leaks traced partly to the case connector and partly to a plugged vent check valve that let the sump build pressure. Clean everything, drive, and find where the fluid is freshest before you order. If shifting is also a complaint, our 6R80 common problems and fixes guide covers the lead frame recalls and their build ranges, and the F-150 6R80 problems guide covers truck-specific issues worth checking while the pan is down.
The listing covers the 6R80 and 6R100 in these vehicles: 2011-2018 F-150, 2011-2017 Expedition, 2011-2017 Mustang, 2011-2017 Lincoln Navigator, 2017-2018 F-250 Super Duty and 2018 F-350 Super Duty. The 6R80 was also used in 2009-2010 trucks, but those years are not on this listing, so compare your old pan's shape and bolt pattern before ordering for an earlier build. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN and we will check it for you. More pans, filters and hard parts for this transmission are on the 6R80 parts collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. A threaded drain plug comes installed in the pan, which the factory 6R80 pan does not have. The plug is not magnetic, so transfer the magnets from your old pan.
No. It is a stock-capacity pan, not a deep sump, so the fill amount and level check stay the same as factory.
No. The pan, drain plug and gasket are included. Replace the filter at the same time if it is due, since the pan is already off.
Mercon LV. Ford's fluid chart lists Mercon LV for the 6R80 and warns against adding supplemental additives. Set the level hot at the check plug.
Those years are not on the listing, which covers 2011-2018 F-150 and the other vehicles shown. Compare your old pan or send us your year and VIN to confirm.
