So you could in theory extend your oil change mileage intervals by a small amount.  How much exactly, and how many years of oil changes will it take for the small difference in change intervals to pay for the cost of that oil pan?  Don't forget, you also have to factor in the cost of an extra 1.5 quarts of oil for each change.  If you are like the vast majority you will still just change the oil at the specified 5000 mile intervals, so there will be no savings but there will still be the extra cost for the extra 1.5 quarts at each change.

With three bikes sharing the mileage all the time I (almost) never get 5000 miles between oil changes anymore.  It's the annual maintenance.  At once a year it'd take 3,264 years to break even on an oil pan.

When my engine crapped out and the pan was getting replaced as part of the fix under extended warranty ($50 deduct) I had them install the SE pan and paid the  difference in cost for stock pan. Labor was already  included... Figured it was worth it to gain what ever minimal benefit, but also did it because the SE pan allows you to remove screws and take off the baffles and clean it rather than replace it. Other than that I guess I have more money than sense ;D

I installed a Baker 1.5+ oil pan this year, cause I could. Almost too purty to use as intended.

I'd have done this exactly for the same rationale.
