Did they change the oil pickup tube design on the 2023-2024 STs?

Went to install my new fenfab oil pan yesterday and the baffles contact in several spots to the pickup tube. Makes me wonder if Ford changed the design for the later STs. Thoughts?

Don’t think there were any significant motor changes 2020-2024. Been a while since I installed mine but I had no interference on my MY22.

That would be very unlikely.

I can't get oil siphoning to work on my 2023 ST, was wondering the same thing. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, Tried a smaller diameter siphoning tube.

2020 ST had a bright yellow ring surrounding the dip stick hole. That yellow ring is gone on my 2023 ST.
