Quick oil pan question
yea i was under my car yesterday and noticed that my oil pan isnt completly flat at the bottom. after looking it it for a couple minutes i can tell that some jack *** that worked on the car before i owned it more then likely used it to jack the car up. should i go ahead and replace it or do you guys think it will be fine. its not really bad but its defintely pushed up some. to replace or not to replace that is the question??

I have a similar situation, bought the car from someone whom I wouldn't say was an expert mechanic.......
My oilpan has a dent in the bottom, but doesn't leak enough to drip. I wipe it off at oil changes and don't want to go thru the hassle of replacing the pan.
Do a search on replacing it.........if's not the easiest job... requires pulling some chassis components etc.

if you're gonna replace the oil pan, definitely do it while the motor is out. even if you're considering it, just replace it while the motor is out...once you put the motor back in, replacing the oil pan is a PITA...speaking from experience of course
