is it possible that I have a dent on my oil pan?

[tylerho]

I went over a speed bump and my front banged onto the bump. I looked under my car noticed that my oil pan has a curve going upward. I am not too sure if the bang caused the oil pan to have that dent. I have a picture but i'll post more tomorrow. hope some one could help clarify this thanks

from this point of view it looks like a shallow dent on it. try cleaning it up until shiny black and you will see exactly were the scratches are (if any).

if the speed bump caused it then all parts hanging lower than oil pan should have similar scratch marks.

There are no scratch marks on the oil pan, so I'm not sure what caused. This won't be a problem when I'm trying to drain most of the oil out right?

I wouldn't worry about it much.

yeah, my 5s-fe seems to have a slight dent in the oil pan too, never bothered me at all...
