Oil Pan
The oil pan holds your engine's oil at the bottom of the engine. If it's dented, cracked, or has stripped drain-plug threads, it can leak and needs replacing. We'll install a new pan to keep your oil sealed in and your engine protected.

Frequently asked questions
Can a dented oil pan be repaired instead of replaced?
Minor dents are sometimes fine, but cracks, punctures, or stripped drain threads usually mean the pan needs replacing for a reliable seal. A mechanic can advise based on the damage.
What causes oil pan damage?
Most damage comes from hitting road debris, scraping over curbs or speed bumps, or over-tightening the drain plug. Rust can also weaken older pans over time.
