95 4runner oil pan low point is stupid



Has anyone come up with a solution to this stupid oil pan that has a low point that doesn't correspond with the drain plug? The low point corresponds with the oil pump pickup screen so it can't be raised to force the flow to the drain plug. But has anyone put a new plug in the low point?

Do you know for sure just where that oil pan you have came from??

Being this is on a Toyota and I see new and interesting and strange things all the time very little surprises me

In any case it is not really a major project to weld another drain plug in where ever you would rather have it.

I only know that the motor was rebuilt once before by an idiot that broke several internal bolts and left them that way. I think the only thing to do is to relocate the drain plug. Thx
