    how low is your oilpan?

    mine is about a 2in off the ground, but i also have a skidplate, haven't measured since the installation of the skidplate tho so prob a lil lower now, i do scrape more but i think its more from the angle of the skidplate. i would post pics up but as some of you know new england got hit with a ass ton of snow
    cheers

                              At least, when equipped with basic tools, an extra pan & gasket, and oil, you can change it on the roadside.
