Its design integrates seamlessly with your vehicle, making installation straightforward without the need for extensive modifications.
Key Features:
Built to outperform the factory oil pan, the PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Engine Oil Pan incorporates advanced design elements and high-quality materials:
- Constructed from thick, cast A356.0T-6 aluminum for superior strength and heat dissipation compared to stamped steel.
- Deep exterior cooling fins increase surface area and utilize underside airflow to reduce oil temperatures effectively.
- Reinforced gussets provide added rigidity and structural integrity to withstand harsh driving 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.
- Improves engine oil cooling, helping to maintain consistent oil viscosity and engine protection.
- Durable finish resists corrosion and wear for long-lasting performance.
- Compatible with OEM drain plug washers; copper washers should be replaced with each service, and compound washers inspected regularly.
Construction & Design:
The PPE oil pan is precision cast from A356.0T-6 aluminum, a high-grade alloy known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and thermal conductivity. This material choice allows the pan to dissipate heat more efficiently than traditional stamped steel pans, helping to lower engine oil temperatures during operation.
Its design features deep cooling fins on the exterior, strategically engineered to maximize surface area and harness airflow beneath the vehicle. This passive cooling approach enhances oil temperature control without requiring additional components or power consumption.
Structural gussets are integrated into the pan’s design to increase rigidity and prevent deformation under stress, ensuring the oil 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, a critical feature that captures metal debris and protects your engine from premature wear.
Installation & Fitment:
This PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Engine Oil Pan is a direct fit replacement for the following vehicles:
- Dodge Charger: 2012 through 2023
- Dodge Challenger: 2011 through 2023
- Jeep Wrangler: 2012 through 2018
Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications to the engine or chassis. It bolts directly onto the engine block using existing mounting points and hardware. For optimal sealing, it is recommended to replace the drain plug washer during each oil service—use a new copper washer or inspect and replace compound washers as needed.
