hi everyone, here is a little problem i found out when changing my oil today:
i bought the car certified from honda about 3 weeks ago, and today when i "tried to change the oil" i found out that the drain plug gasket was not on the plug at all!! even with a break bar i could not break free the bolt and i also notice there are tiny cracks all over the oil pan as well..(very thin cracks only on the surface) should i take the car back to the dealership? i used to drive a 89 camry before and that sucker didnt have a single surface crak on the oil pan at all. what should i do??

 

absolutely. take it back to them and point it out. if they give you greif, try a different honda dealer.

 

You most likely are seeing casting flash/marks that look like cracks. If it was a "real" crack, there would be oil leaking out of it.

 

Thanks u guys, i'm taking the car in this week and will post results
