How severe is the dent? But no I don't believe it would have an effect on MPG

First, how could i get a dent in my pan?

secondly, could this lead to poor gas mileage?

1. Someone else (valet, dealer lot driver, friend, wife, kids) drove over something and didn't tell you? I would imagine there would be some impact mark/scuff on the plastic shield directly beneath the dent in the oil pan.

2. No, this would have zero effect on MPG.

 

well the people who changed my oil said there was a dent. i didnt see/feel anything when i looked at it (mind you the skid plate was still on and i was looking through with a flashlight). the only thing i can think of was when i hit a high curb but i dont believe it impacted the pan bc it only chipped off little of the front bumper...........or the oil change place just lied to me

 

Wow, must've been a very high curb to chip bumper.

yeah the curb was probably 8 inchs high. didnt see it one night it was raining, but its under the very bottom and like a foot in from underneath, but i dont think that touched the oil pan
