Its direct bolt-on design ensures a straightforward installation without the need for modifications, making it a practical and effective enhancement for your vehicle’s engine protection and longevity.

Key Features

Engineered to outperform the factory oil pan, the PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Engine Oil Pan incorporates advanced materials and design elements to provide lasting reliability and improved engine oil cooling:

• Constructed from thick, cast A356.0T-6 aluminum for superior strength and enhanced heat dissipation compared to stamped steel pans.
• Deep exterior cooling fins increase surface area and utilize airflow beneath the vehicle to reduce oil temperatures effectively.
• Reinforced gussets integrated into the design add rigidity and structural integrity to withstand harsh driving and off-road conditions.
• Equipped with a hardened billet stainless steel drain plug featuring a high-power Neodymium magnet to attract and retain damaging ferrous metal particles.
• Direct bolt-on replacement for factory oil pans, ensuring a hassle-free upgrade with no modifications required.
• Durable corrosion-resistant finish for long-lasting performance and protection against wear.
• Compatible with OEM drain plug washers; copper washers should be replaced during each oil service for optimal sealing.

Construction & Design

The oil pan is precision cast from A356.0T-6 aluminum, a high-grade alloy known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior thermal conductivity. This material choice enables the pan to dissipate heat more efficiently than traditional stamped steel pans, helping to lower engine oil temperatures during operation and improve overall engine reliability.

Its exterior features deep cooling fins strategically designed to maximize surface area and harness airflow beneath the vehicle. This passive cooling system enhances oil temperature control without requiring additional components or power consumption. Structural gussets are incorporated to increase rigidity and prevent deformation under stress, ensuring the pan maintains its shape and sealing integrity over time.

The drain plug is crafted from hardened billet stainless steel and includes a powerful Neodymium magnet that captures metal debris, protecting your engine from premature wear and extending component life.

Installation & Fitment

This PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Engine Oil Pan is a direct fit replacement for the following vehicles equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine:

• Dodge Challenger: 2011 through 2023
• Dodge Charger: 2012 through 2023
• Jeep Wrangler: 2012 through 2018

Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications to the engine or chassis. The oil pan bolts directly onto the engine block using existing mounting points and hardware. For optimal sealing and maintenance, it is recommended to replace the drain plug washer during each oil change—use a new copper washer or inspect and replace compound washers as needed.
