My whole tire/wheel flew off on the istate and the oil pan got cracked. I used a couple different jb weld products and got it repaired. I was going to take my car to get a synthetic oil change but I think I covered up the oil pan drain plug. I'm not sure exactly where it is located but I can't find it. Am i going to have to get another oil pan now?

Hi Duwhop,

Yes. Normally the oil plugs are on the edges of the pan. I circled the plug on a replacement pan. I would suggest you replace the pan at this point. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
