Description:

This new deep pan is cast from high-quality A356.0-T6 heat-treated aluminum alloy using permanent steel molds and holds an additional two quarts of oil. More fluid increases thermal stamina which helps promote longer service life. We’ve added machined grooves to the outer surface of the pan to increase the effective surface area and maximize thermal performance.

The factory drain plug port is located above the bottom of the pan and about half a quart of dirty oil remains which immediately contaminates your fresh oil with sludge and ferrous metal. PPE solves that filthy problem with a flat, angled bottom, and a drain plug port engineered below the bottom surface of the pan to ensure a complete drain.

A 1/8-inch NPT port is tapped and plugged into the side if you want to run an optional temperature sensor. We've also included a high-power Neodymium magnet equipped, billet, hardened stainless steel drain plug, This powerful plug pulls ferrous particles out of your oil before they damage your internals.

GM 3.0L Duramax Engine Oil Pan - Replaces GM #55506665

In our testing on the LM2, we observed an increase in oil capacity from 7 quarts with the OE GM oil pan (GM #55506665) and filter to 9 1/2 quarts with the PPE Heavy-Duty Deep Oil Pan and PPE Premium Oil Filter 114000650.
