The day before yesterday I hit a massive bump in the road or something and it was the last bump of that kind that my aluminum oil pan could handle. It dumped 5.5-6 quarts of oil within 1/4th of a mile, and then the oil light turned on. I immediatly shut the engine down and it drained it's remaining 1.5-2 quarts of oil right there.

I replaced the oil pan and all works and runs smoothly now, but man - look at that oil pan, it was TRASHED.

I'll link the pictures, because some people are on slow connections.

Check out the size of that hole!
