• Integrated cast gussets provide added rigidity and resistance to flex, impact, and deformation from road debris or off-road hazards.
• Includes a billet hardened stainless steel drain plug with a powerful neodymium magnet that captures ferrous metal particles, reducing engine wear.
• Direct bolt-on replacement with factory-equivalent fitment ensures hassle-free installation without the need for modifications.
• Improved corrosion resistance extends service life, especially in harsh or off-road environments.
• Compatible with OEM and aftermarket copper or compound drain plug washers for reliable sealing and easy maintenance.
• Chrysler equivalent part number 5184407AF for straightforward cross-reference and compatibility assurance.

Construction & Design

The oil pan is expertly crafted from premium A356.0-T6 cast aluminum, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior thermal conductivity. This construction not only enhances durability but also promotes efficient heat transfer, allowing engine oil to cool more effectively during operation. The pan’s exterior features deep, aerodynamic cooling fins that maximize heat radiation by channeling airflow beneath the vehicle, helping maintain optimal oil temperatures even under demanding driving conditions.

Reinforced cast gussets integrated into the pan’s design add structural integrity, preventing flexing and damage from impacts or rough terrain. The included drain plug is machined from billet stainless steel and hardened for long-lasting durability. Its integrated neodymium magnet actively attracts and holds microscopic ferrous particles suspended in the oil, providing a significant upgrade over standard drain plugs that lack magnetic protection.

Installation & Fitment

The PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Engine Oil Pan is designed as a direct replacement for the factory oil pan on the following vehicles equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine:

• 2011–2025 Dodge Durango
• 2013–2018 Ram 1500
• 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Classic
• 2011–2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
• 2022–2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications, making it suitable for professional shops and DIY enthusiasts alike. It is recommended to replace the drain plug washer during each oil service using either a new copper washer (SKU 114052002) or inspect and replace the compound washer (SKU 114052004) as needed to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks.
