Looking the car over and noticed rust, including on the oil pan. In the grand scheme of things, how concerned should I be with this rust? Do I need to take action? Looking to get 6+ years out of this car. Oil was changed last week by previous owner. The pan does not leak. I've added a photo: I appreciate any feedback. Thank you very much.

It happens just do it if otherwise vehicle is fine, Tom (W. of Boston - rust belt too) Bjohnston0512 New User Jun 3, 2018, 1:31 PM Post #3 of 4 (2993 views) Re: 2004 Chevy Impala, Oil Pan Rust Sign In Dangit. Was hoping that wouldn’t be the case. Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 3, 2018, 1:49 PM Post #4 of 4 (2983 views) Re: 2004 Chevy Impala, Oil Pan Rust Sign In Too risky - just do it. Doesn't mean whole car is junk but check anyway. Assorted makes too? The only possible way I'd risk that is if you can tap but not dent it with a hammer and nothing just bust loose right away then spray the thing with literally spray grease and oil it too on top of that you are taking a chance I don't suggest, Tom   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
