Oil pan,

Stainless steel makes no sense! Expensive, hard to make joints, joints are prone to leakage, joints hard to find and expensive. Welding tedious and welds are prone to cracks.

Look at your choices. PEX is there for a reason. If you need stainless for water purity, then we can have another discussion, but you must have other fundemental reasons for not using PEX.

Respectfully,

Steve
