Wouldn't a cracked oil pan leak like crazy? I've had bad oil pan gaskets and even that's noticeable. When was the last time you checked your oil level besides today? You didn't just check it this morning after months because you THINK you hit the oil pan right? My cars pretty low too and I don't think I've ever hit the oil pan hard enough to cause some damage, the chassis should protect it and take the impact way before the oil pan.

I checked the oil the day before I hit the dip. But that day I was pushing my car pretty hard for a good hour or so. Maybe I burnt the oil. I'll see when I raise the car tomorrow. I hope you are right.

Doubt he cracked it too. Just fill the damn thing up and watch the oil consumption. I've bottomed out so many times where it sounds like the car is coming apart and all I scrape are the tow hooks on the subframe

I wanna see you crack a stamped steel oil pan.


My brother ran into a manhole cover in his civic and all it did was put a huge dent into it and he's about 2in lower than you are.

highly doubt your oil pan even hit the ground since the sub frame is lower then the oil pan. plus your on stechs so its not like your that low.

Ive seen cracked oil pans over the past few years working at honda. Stamped Steel will still have a breaking point.
