Transmission Oil Pan with Gasket Drain Plug for Ram & Jeep - 8 Speed

In this review of the Transmission Oil Pan with Gasket Drain Plug, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for owners of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles with the 8 speed automatic transmission who need a complete, direct-fit replacement pan and filter assembly. The reviewer found the kit's biggest advantage is the all-in-one nature - pan, built-in filter, gasket, drain screw and bolts - which simplifies a transmission service and reduces the chance of missing components during installation.

Key Features

• Direct vehicle fitment: Designed to replace OEM pans on specified Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ram models, which helps ensure correct alignment and fit during installation.
• Complete kit: Includes the transmission oil pan, built-in filter, gasket, oil drain screw and 13 bolts so a technician or DIYer receives everything needed for a pan-level service.
• Material and finish: Constructed from corrosion-resistant plastic to resist road salt and moisture, helping prolong service life in wet conditions.
• Serviceability: The included drain plug makes fluid changes cleaner and faster than removing the pan without a plug, reducing mess and effort.
• OEM cross references: Supplied part numbers match multiple OEM references, aiding compatibility checks when replacing the lubrication system component.

Who It's For

The kit is aimed at owners and independent technicians servicing 8 speed automatic transmissions on specific rear-wheel drive Chrysler 300 (2013-2021), Dodge Charger (2013-2021), Challenger (2015-2021), Durango (2014-2021), Jeep Grand Cherokee (2014-2021) and Ram 1500/2500/3500 model years listed. It suits someone who prefers a single replacement package that includes the filter and hardware rather than sourcing parts separately.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of front-wheel drive variants, vehicles with transmissions other than the specified 8 speed automatic, or buyers seeking a metal pan replacement; this kit is a plastic, direct-fit replacement intended for the stated models only.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete replacement kit reduces parts hunting and ensures the gasket and bolts match the pan.
• Built-in filter included so filter change is performed at the same time as pan replacement.
• Corrosion-resistant finish means better long-term resistance to road salt and moisture.
• Drain plug speeds routine fluid changes and reduces mess.

Cons

• Plastic construction may be less desirable to buyers who prefer stamped metal pans for perceived durability.
• Fitment is limited to specified 8 speed automatic models; it is not universal.
