However, I didn’t see any metal washers or other loose parts in the pan. I’m an ASE-certified professional mechanic (gas and diesel) and just acquired this vehicle. I’m currently performing a thorough inspection of the engine and transmission, so I’m happy to help out in any way I can.

Ask me how I know…

No I didn’t!
I would love to know if you ever find out.
