Tried searching about dents in oil pans. Anyways... I'm heading out to santa cruz tonight and I have a slight dent ,nothing too major, on the oil pan from my stupid ass friend jacking up my car and missing the cross member. Where exactly is the oil pickup on a ka? The dent on the oil pan is more towards the cross member and is about 1/4inch in if not less. I was wondering if it would be a factor or anything. Don't have any oil or check engine lights coming on and the car seems fine. I'm ASSUMING that everything should be ok and I'll probably get around to changing when I get back from my trip. Do you guys think I will be fine on my 5 hour drive to santa cruz?

the oil pickup is in the front and center of pan.
i'm not sure of the clearance between the bottom of the pickup and the pan though. listen to the motor very carefully as you're driving. good luck!
