Rusty the oil pan
The oil pan is rusting on my 2001 F250. Anyone know of cheap way to permanently fix? I understand that it would be covered under warranty if it were leaking now and that the engine has to be pulled to do it. With my luck it will happen as soon as the warranty expires and leave me with a hefty bill. Warranty times out in April.
I have never seen an oil can rust. When are they going to stop making these oil pans out of crushed up Chevys??

Some have had success coating their pan with POR-15. Like anything, preperation of the pan is the key.
