i know Wiking is an international member and I can usually decipher about every 12th word of his posts and figure out an idea of what he is saying but I have no clue on this. Sometimes it seems to be like weird philosophical or something.

No, not international. Just ... exotic? Too small tin hats makes most of us weird. And my Sunday drive is Volvo Wiking... 9L straight direct inj diesel. Nothin to brag about - there is a gassing pedal gassing everyone hoping to pass in blk smoke



The reason is, I cant understand a dent in a oilpan alike MSoft policies... if pan is kept on entrance hall wall as a trophy, then cleaning and de-denting and waxing is a must.

Assuming you didn't go airborne and land Dukes of Hazard style on a boulder, you can have the dent in the pan banged out by a competent mech, or by yourself if you are so inclined. It won't be OEM perfect, but it will serve its purpose adequately without having to hunt down a replacement and spending way too much for a new one.
