You've likely heard how important oil is to your vehicle's engine. Did you know that there's one part that's responsible for holding that oil so you can use it every day? It's called the oil pan, and it sits at the bottom of the engine. The oil pan is a vital, though simple, part of your engine's lubrication system.

You may drive over a couple of bad roads and kick up debris onto your oil pan. All this wear and tear, heat and ti ... read more
