Get a pic from further away for reference. That’s awful straight for a crack…are you sure it’s not a casting mark?

Looks like a casting mark to me as well.

Found this forum while looking for answers. I went to change the oil at 15,000 miles and after taking off the sound panel, I saw this. The last place to change the oil was the dealer when I bought it last year. It had 5000 miles on it. What I can understand is why I’m looking at all these reports of a plastic pan failing, but this is aluminum and that’s a crack. Obviously I didn’t try to loosen it. What oil pan is this? It almost looks like part of the block to me…a big expensive broken piece of aluminum. Speaking of which, today was my first time crawling around under it. Now I know why it’s such a rocket. Everything is lightweight including the aluminum control arms. I’m hoping the dealership dies the right thing, but I’m curious if anyone else has seen this. It’s hard to believe that the drain plug cracked it kind that unless someone went at it with an impact wrench. Others than that, this is one nice car. Is that a good intro lol any input is appreciated.

Fenfab is the only one that makes aftermarket aluminum pans for these cars, and that doesn’t look like it. Like the others said, better pics would help. Also, that’s way too long between oil changes. You should be doing it every 5k miles or 6 months.

What are you posting pics of? It’s not the oil pan.

Not the oil pan, and not a crack, either. I'm confused, lol.

Can you zoom back a bit and take some photos to show location? I'm having trouble getting my bearings here.

That's not the oil pan. I was thinking it was the differential drain but not 100% sure. Too close to tell.

I’m thinking doesn’t have an ST…maybe not even an Explorer. lol

Oh. This explains it. It's a 2.3L




Hopped on youtube, pulled up a vid of a '23 2.3L getting an oil change and even this doesn't look like that plug. Not sure if 25+ changed.




I've spent too much effort on this.

Listen moron…you’re the one that came in an ST group, not an ST Line group, posting pics that have nothing to do with an ST crying about casting marks. I guess if you couldn’t tell the difference between models of car and the engines they have I can’t expect you to tell the difference between a crack and a casting mark.
And yet…without a single bit of help on your end we still figured it out for you.
Now you can fake your non cracked oil pan and your non ST car and fuq all the way off. Nobody here will miss your crying azz.
