Product Details and Specifications

The Dorman 265-818 transmission oil pan is designed to meet the specifications required by various Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Mitsubishi, and Ram vehicles. Its steel construction ensures strength and durability under normal operating conditions.

The included drain plug simplifies fluid changes, reducing maintenance time. This pan does not include a dipstick port and does not come with a gasket or mounting hardware, so these components should be sourced separately if needed.

Common Issues Addressed by This Transmission Oil Pan

• Difficulty draining transmission fluid without a proper drain plug
• Corrosion from exposure to road salt and moisture
• Improper fitment causing transmission fluid leaks

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the transmission fluid is fully drained before removing the old pan. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to prevent leaks. Since mounting hardware and gasket are not included, use OEM or compatible parts for installation. Torque mounting bolts evenly to manufacturer specifications to avoid warping the pan. The included drain plug facilitates fluid changes but verify the thread size matches your vehicle’s requirements.
