    Rust on Oil Pan

    I've a 2000 Mazda Protege and yesterday while changing the oil, I found some rust on the Oil Pan. Is it normal ? I've other friends' cars which are like 10 years old and there is nothing. Wondering, if it is somewhat manufacturing defect ? How much it cost to replace this ? and what are the outcomes ? Please suggest..

    No I did not do anything... Last time I changed the oil in April it was all ok... and suddenly this time I noticed the rust..

      it's metal, right?

      and it's underneath a car that gets driven from time to time?


      hmm, yeah.... it's normal

        mine does too, just wire brush it off, apply wax and grease remover and repaint. Rocks and other things hit it an chip the paint. Metal exposed to elements rusts. It normal.
