Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / September 2004oil pan replaced
We have 99 Grand Caravan. Recently we had to replace a rusted oil pan. Has anyone else had such a problem? >We have 99 Grand Caravan.

I have replaced the oil pan on my 1990 Aerostar 3.0, 1988 New Yorker 3.0, and 1996 Pontiac TransSport 3.8 I have also had to replace pans on Toyotas, Mazdas, and many others over the years. Seams to be a lot more of a problem in the last 10 years than it was 30 years ago - likely due to lighter metal. >>>>We have 99 Grand Caravan.

I live in a place where road salt is heavily used PA/NY and have never had an oil pan rust badly. Matt >>>>>We have 99 Grand Caravan.

Up here in Ontario, "heavy salt usage" in Pa and Ny is juat a light sprinkle of salt up here. They generally l;eak at the spot welds where the baffles are installed.. But not always - sometimes right in the middle of a flat(usually upright) area. >Matt |
