Official 2010 Camaro Ordering Workbook (17 page PDF)

It says, "Camaro owners that have the factory Illumination Package...". And under packages, it doesn't have any package called Illumination Package and it doesnt talk about the ambient lighting anywhere in it.

So I'm wondering what models is this standard on and is it an option on models that its not on?

i could be mistaken but this may be the grille insert

How would that work? Every vehicle i've ever had that had an oil cooler had it mounted in front of the radiator along with a/c and tranny cooler so that air can flow through it just like the radiator. I would be surprised if even the return line were attached to the pan. A pan doesn't have a lot of structural integrity. That's why the drain plug is the only thing on the panunless they have some new technology. Anything pressed or welded to a thing member like a oil pan is what is known as a stress riser and has a higher probability of propagating a crack. Do you have the pictures you refer to? Not trying to start an argument. Trying to be a constructive part of this discussion.

How about this......



The oil pan used on the Camaro LS3 is quite a bit different than the one used on LS1s in the 4 Gen cars and it's different from the one used by the LS3 when it was introduced on the Corvette for 2008. The Camaro pan is a bit bigger inside holding a additional two quarts of oil compared to the Vette LS3. Otherwise, the pan is similar in concept to other Gen 3/4 oil pans in that, besides holding all the oil, it acts as a sound insulator and add some rigidity to the bottom of the block. In addition, the Camaro LS3 has an engine oil cooler because, according to ACE Ron Meegan, "...of the (vehicle) weight and the (reduced) air flow around the engine in this package, some of the more aggressive driving modes required us to use a cooler to meet our oil temperature requirements." The Camaro oil cooler is the same type of oil-to-coolant heat exchanger used by the supercharged LSA in the Cadillac CTS-V and it is mounted in a similar location, on the left side of the oil pan.

Great reply! Welcome to the site. I owe you bonus points. Guess I have to admit i'm not up to speed with 21st century automotive technology. It appears to be a rigid cast aluminum pan rather than the old stamped sheetmetal pans of years gone by. I under stood the reason for an oil cooler, just didn't envision how it was built into the pan. I haven't turned wrenches on cars in a few years other than a few basic mods i've done myself. I could rebuild a engine with a few hundred dollars worth of tools years ago. It has to cost a fortune to due extensive repairs nowdays.

So is the module on the side of the pan the pump, or is the pump in or on the block?

pump is mounted on/in the block, what your seeing on the side is the cooler, filter, and plumbing.
