PPE High-Capacity Cast Aluminum Engine Oil Pan
Ditch the grit. Get rid of the dirtiest oil left in the valley of your stock pan from all your previous oil changes.
The stock Duramax engine oil pan is stamped steel (very poor heat dissipation) and there is a valley in the pan that prevents your old oil from being completely drained on each oil change. This leaves behind nearly a quart of the dirtiest oil, which immediately contaminates your fresh oil.
PPE solves these problems. First, this deep pan is engineered with a flat bottom. This feature allows you to drain all of your oil pan’s dirty engine oil. Second, it’s made from cast A356.0-T6 aluminum using permanent steel molds for strength and optimum heat dissipation. Third, PPE’s new deep oil pan holds an extra quart of oil so you will see reduced oil temperature, higher oil pressure, and better lubrication to your engine’s vital components.
Another feature is the unshrouded oil pickup. The engine then has less restriction near the oil pickup, resulting in higher oil pressure. Higher oil pressure equals better lubrication.

Q: How did PPE increase the oil capacity over the stock pan?
A: The PPE pan gains additional oil capacity by utilizing unused space under the engine while maintaining clearances. The PPE pan also has the same oil pickup relationship as the stock pan.
Q: Does the additional oil capacity of the PPE pan affect the dipstick oil level reading?
A: The increased volume of the PPE pan does not alter the oil level reading on the dipstick, thus retaining the stock reading.
Q: Why isn’t the drain plug facing down from the bottom of the pan?
A: The drain plug is in a location to protect and prevent catastrophic failure from events such as impacts from road debris or other objects. It is positioned for complete drainage during oil changes, unlike the stock pan which leaves about a 1/2 quart of contaminated oil, and sludge.
Q: Why not just overfill the engine with oil instead of installing a pan with more capacity?
A: Overfilling your vehicle with oil can cause aeration of the oil, which in turn can cause increased wear and engine damage.
Q: How much more oil does the PPE 6.6L Duramax Pan hold?
A: This PPE pan will hold approximately 1 full quart of oil over the stock pan. Always determine and verify the proper fill level by reading the dipstick.
