Small oil leak- Result Melted Oil pan

[KentSD]

Went to get oil change before i head south this weekend- Oil was splattered everywhere.

Took into ford- they removed the oil pan to find it was all melted and warped.

I know I've seen some stuff about people leaking oil- anyone have this issue?

Im at 32,000 miles

Wish i had photos but they didnt give them to me


Anyways they gave me a new oil pan and i was on my way

A plastic oil pan. What the hell were they thinking???

Seems an aftermarket aluminum pan would be in high demand for these trucks.
Is this the first time your oil pan has been changed?

Yeah first time they replaced it- I thought it was just the plastic plug so i went to a dealership got a new plug then changed my oil and it was still leaking so thats when i took it in.

@RPG lets get some new oil pans... Gracias!

Would be very profitable and have a very quick payback at this rate!

There are a lot of parts made of plastic on engines that get hot and tested and do just fine. There has to have been a bad batch of pans somewhere. There have been a few needing new pans . Do the regular f150's have plastic pans to? I'm keeping my fingers crossed over here, only 6700 miles so far.

Yes - all 3.5 Ecoboost engines from 2017+ have these plastic pans. The normal f150 people are having this issue too. There is something wrong with the pan, how it mounts, and the seal used.

Hey Sasquatch, I mean MGD, will drilling a weep hole help prevent this problem?
