Do you have a magnet?
At
Thanks.
Which, I suppose could either be of the same aluminum construct or it could be steel. Somehow I doubt the material is necessarily critical to the fit. The shape is where it's at
Best to ask the man (or woman who owns one) or at least owns one and has a magnet
If you go to an "instant" oil change place there is a real risk of these clowns over torquing the drain plug and the resultant leak. This happened to me with my soon to be former 2000 VW Golf :-(

It's easy to tell by feel, either way.
Steel pans are pressed from sheet. They always have very smooth and rounded contours, and are always painted.
Aluminum pans are cast. They are not painted, and their surfaces have a rough feel to them. Aluminum pans normally have much sharper edges than steel pans, and often have cooling ribs cast into them.
