Default Dented oil pan
I got a Mazda 3. The oil pan dented. Just wondering if that is going to affect the anything at all?

It would take a BIG dent to hit moving parts, or, rather, for moving parts to hit the pan. As long asit doesn't look like the dent caused the metal to get so thin that it will crack, I would not worry about it.

There's nothing wrong with it being dented. Be fortunate, my old Golf had an aluminum pan that would shatter
