Construction & Design:
The oil pan is crafted from premium A356.0-T6 cast aluminum, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and thermal conductivity. This choice of material not only enhances durability but also improves heat transfer, allowing engine oil to cool more efficiently during operation. The pan’s exterior features deep, aerodynamic fins designed to maximize heat radiation by channeling airflow beneath the vehicle. Reinforced cast gussets add structural integrity, preventing flex and damage from road debris or off-road impacts.
The drain plug is a standout component, 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, reducing the risk of internal engine damage. This is a significant upgrade over factory drain plugs, which lack magnetic protection.
Installation & Fitment:
The PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Engine Oil Pan is engineered as a direct replacement for the factory oil pan on Dodge Durango (2011–2025), Ram 1500 (2013–2024), and Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011–2024) models. Installation requires no modifications, making it an ideal bolt-on upgrade for both professional shops and DIY enthusiasts. It is recommended to replace the drain plug washer during each oil service—use a new copper washer (SKU 114052002) or inspect and replace the compound washer (SKU 114052004) as needed to ensure a proper seal.
