Owner reviews for oil pan

I’m replacing my oil pan on my 18 2.7 with the Dorman aluminum pan that came out a few months ago.

I had a 82 Mazda rx7 that I put a Chevy 350 into, and let me tell ya.... The oil pan was one part that needed some "adjustments" to clear the center/drag link for the steering. I set it on the ground in my shop and beat it till the flanges weren't square anymore. When I went to install it, I used gray rtv, had to squeeze the sides to make the bolts line up. It didn't leak a drop tho, and it cleared the steering!!

Last year, I had a service shop replace my water pump in a Ford Edge 3.5L Duratec. They didn't put anything between the jack & oil pan when they pulled off the timing cover and put a crack in my pan. Brought it back & they put silicon adhesive on the crack. After a nicely worded email about the idiocracy of that fix, I got a new pan put on free of charge

I remember a camry that came in driving for an oil change with a hole in the oil pan and nothing in it. Owner thought maybe they had hit a rock a week before and done 150 miles since.

You ever seen the video where a guy takes the oil pan off a toyota camry and drives it to his mechanic. It took the Toyota a long time, I wouldn't do it with a ford.

I have a 130i with 218k miles. I\u2019ve had the car for maybe 5 months. Spent probably around \u00a31,500 in that time period. It was mostly expected. The big costs were new oil pan, which was probably around \u00a3800 with labour.

I have an 18 hatch. Nothing but problems after my engine block fractured on a stand after they resealed my oil pan. After that, lots of leaking fluids, oil pans were redone literally 7 times between the upper and lower.

Man I hit a rock in my ‘21 Mazda 3. Damaged the oil pan, differential, catalytic converter (secondary), mufflers, and engine cradle. $10k+ repair

2013 crv, 12 years with 116k miles. Got timing chain issue and oil pan seep issue. Pretty cost to repair.

I was terrified at the fact my GLI had a plastic oil pan so I changed it out with an aluminum version.
