Leaking oil pan

[Bigbags85]

My 22s oil pan is already rusting and leaking. Anyone else have this happen? I've lived in the rust belt most of my life and the only oil pan I've ever had to change was on a 91 crown vic and that thing was 13yrs old with 200k on it. Are these just POSs on these new vehicles? Has anyone had luck finding an aluminum pan? I don't really wanna change this out every 4yrs.

Thread 'Rusted Oil Pan'

Oct 6, 2023

Today while getting an oil change on my 2019 Ram, the tech pointed out my oil pan was rusting out at 57,000 miles and that the dip stick tube was hanging loose. I have an appointment with my dealer for the oil pan and I am wondering if anyone else has seen this. The shop doing the oil change has seen a number of these on other Rams.

Hey everybody while under my truck replacing my sway bar bushings which turned out great. I was looking around as I really do not service my new cars. I noticed the oil pan to be in very rough shape and worse than I have ever saw on a new truck/car under 4 years old and under 100,000 kms. Who else has Had this issue with a 5th Gen ? Also did it get covered by warranty as this is clearly poor metal or just crap paint on the oil pan. Funny thing a new pan is under $300 CAD. The dealership that I spend a lot of money in service with them their manager said it can not be covered as it...

Why are you not using some protection?

Why are you not using some protection?

The truck is undercoated and like I said above I've only ever had to change one oil pan in my life and that was on 12yr old Ford with 200k on it. I've had multiple vehicles with 230 thousand miles on them that were 15yrs old and the pans never rusted out. This vehicle is 4yrs old

Thanks, I've looked through those before it supposedly seemed limited to 19s. It's going to the dealer on Thursday we'll see what happens.
