Consumer Description

AFTER CHANGING THE OIL I NOTICED A QUARTER SIZE RUST BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF THE OIL PAN ABOUT 1/2" FROM THE BOTTOM. I TOOK A RAG AND WIPED IT OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO SPRAY SOME PAINT ON IT BUT AS SOON AS I WIPED IT THE NEW OIL STARTED RUNNING OUT AT A SLOW DRIP. I ULTIMATELY ENDED UP REPLACING THE OIL PAN. AFTER I HAD THE PAN OF IT LOOKED LIKE THE PAN HAD BEEN PAINTED WITH RUST ON THE OUTSIDE. THE INSIDE OF THE PAN WAS FINE BUT I HAD 10 OR 15 RUST SPOTS THAT WERE BUBBLING UNDER THE PAINT.
