Mechanic tells me the oil pan is rotting out on my 1995 F-150, will take a day to fix it. Says he has to loosen motor mounts, raise engine, etc. to get at it, etc. I've checked it out and see drops at the base of it. It looks like oil is bleeding through the sum B. What gives? Oil pans used to be made of pretty heavy duty metal. Course, in CT we cover the roads with salt in the winter. Too bad a truck with only 91,000 mi. has to rot out from the bottom up.

Common problem on those year Fords... Check out ford-trucks.com message boards for more information. You have to raise the engine to get the pan out of there, takes a few hours to complete the job.

IF your roads are that bad and you are in salt country I recommend getting some of that por (paint over rust paint) should be chip resistant and preserve the pan way longer then youll ever have the truck. Might as well spend the 30 bucks for a quart of it so you dont go through it again

Thanks for the good advice. If it's only the oil pan that's bad, maybe I'll keep the truck and replace the pan with a new one.

I worked in a scrap yard in Ontario Canada for 7 years and seen many porous oil pans. Yes it is too bad. The vehicles around here only last 250,000 Km to 400,000Km untill the bodys fall apart. Less then that if they are not maintained.
I remember pulling many pans off only to find that they also were too far gone to sell with any confidence to the customer.
Make sure that if the mechanic is going to take that long to replace it, then that it is a new pan or a GOOD used one. No use putting a used pan on that is going to leak in a year or so.
I used to take a chipping hammer and wire brush to them to know that they were good.
I could show the customer and let him paint it up.
The pans hide the pitting under the panit and rust and can be quite deep in areas.
Might be an idea to have the truck on a hoist and take a good look at all the parts for corrosion before they become a problem. Especialy the cab corners and the rear spring shackles. Shackles and frame area.
