Description and Applications

This heavy duty transmission oil pan fits the GM 6L80, 6L80E transmissions. PML designed this pan for 2006 and newer Cadillac, Camaro, Corvette, and Chevrolet and GM trucks and SUVs. There is a fill hole and plug for vehicles with the fill in the pan, such as some Camaros.

This pan features:

• Fins and aluminum construction to dissipate heat from transmission fluid
• Drain plug for easier maintenance
• ½ NPT hole and plug for pan-fill
• Thick walls to add strength to the transmission housing
• Thick gasket flange, machined flat, for a leak-free seal
• Low profile for clearance

This pan will fit the GM 6L80, 6L80E transmission. This pan is designed for GM/Chevy cars, such as:

• Cadillac STS 2008-2009, V6 3.6L or V8 4.4L or V8 4.6L
• Cadillac XLR 2008-2009, V8 4.4L or V8 4.6L
• Cadillac CTS 2006-2008, V8 6.0L
• Camaro, 2010 and newer, V8 6.2L
• Corvette 2006 and newer
• G8
• Trucks and SUVs needing a lower profile (such as those with skid plates)

Vehicles have a variety of configurations. Look at yours before you order to verify your transmission and clearance.

For the extra capacity version of this pan, please see PML part number 11025, 6L80, 6L80E deep pan for the 6L80, 6L80E.

In many cases, you will need to drop the exhaust to install this pan. You would need to drop the exhaust to service the transmission with the stock pan as three bolts are not otherwise accessible. See installation images below that show the routing of the exhaust.

Filter and Gasket Information

Image coming soon.

No filter supports or extensions are needed since this pan is the same depth as the stock pan.

This transmission pan works with stock gaskets. PML designed this pan to accommodate the reuseable factory gasket. Please make sure the gasket is clean and free of any holes or nicks to avoid leaks.

Temperature Sensor Information

The pan has three bosses that can be machined for use with aftermarket sensors and gages. It is also possible to use one of the other bosses as the drain plug location. If you would like PML to machine a boss on this pan for a temperature sensor, the machining charge is $40 and this option must be ordered over the phone. The boss can accomodate 1/8 to 1/2 NPT.
