Wow. Maybe under a car in the muck for several years?
I’ve started degreasing and cleaning aluminum and steel with my wife’s ingenious mix of 2/3 vinegar to 1/3 Dawn detergent. Heat up the vinegar a bit, just warm tea warm - helps it mix. In a spray bottle. Shake it up to mix. Stiff brushes and wire brushes.
Fixing hole in oil pan.

maybe steam clean or pressure wash it.02V70 wrote: 11 Aug 2023, 19:33 I got a used oil pan off of eBay. It looks like this and smells bad. It almost looks as if there is moss/lichen growing on it. What is it? Does it indicate any problems? The oil pan on the car now is pretty clean, and a little oily.

In the ebay oil pan, there is a lot of black gunk everywhere inside. Can I get away with just cleaning it? It seems to scrape off easily. Are there easy to miss parts of the pan that get clogged with sludge that I need to clean?
