Ranger XLT tranny oil pan

[PapaBill]

Greetings all.
I have a 2019 RangermXLT with ~31K miles and want to drain the tranny oil and replace it.
Can the the tranny oil pan be reused or do I have to get a new one?

Also considering putting a bulk head fitting and a small ball valve in the side before refilling so it's easier to drain next time.
Thoughts, comments are appreciated.
Thank you!
Bill

I have that PPE pan. Just installed it last month along with Mike's Shop dipstick. Extremely worth it, especially when I was quoted locally something like $600 to have a shop just do a fluid/filter replacement. I spend about the same amount and a simple drain fill is a breeze now.

JUST A NOTE - if you happen to have a NAPA local to you, they sometimes run crazy monthly deals on random stuff, but only if you order online and pick it up yourself. In April they had ULV for half the price so I got twice what I needed doing the initial fluid/filter swap and one more after driving for 2 weeks to ensure the majority is newer fluid in the transmission having bought my truck used and only getting around to do this at 58K miles.

Having seen how thin even new ULV runs, and if I can score another NAPA deal I might do fluid drops every 15K and fluid/filters every 30K?

I should also mention I only needed 5qt (new PPE pan) with the truck perfectly level (actually used a level on the bed rail raising the rear) in my slightly sloped drive to hit in between the 4 -5 on the dipstick.

Thanks, all for your suggestions.
I am going to use a 1/2" mnpt brass bulk head filling and a capped 1/2" FMPT, 1/4 turn, 90Deg. ball valve to drain. Did this before. Saves a lot of mess.
