I'm not sure where the pickup tube is relative to the bottom of the pan but this is my main concern.

I'm not so much worried about damaging the pickup tube but rather blocking it's flow from the bottom.

It is somewhere between a dime and my fist lol. See the pictures for a better idea but it doesn't seem too deep of a dent.

If it's anywhere near the oil pick up point I'd use this as an opportunity (aka excuse) to replace the pan and get an oil baffle from the manufacturer of your choice...maybe replace the pick up tube too.

Ohh new car parts...now we're talking. Absolutely will look into that if the pan needs to come off.

This was my logic but it's nice to hear someone say it lol. I just fear this is a ticking time bomb situation, but is it really a ticking time bomb if it takes decades to go off?
