Friend sent me this, local salvage yard. Is the pan supposed to look like this near the dipstick tube? Let me know if you want it.

That pan looks like it's been dented. It doesn't look severe and should be fixable

Check the Transtar Industries catalog. I think the A340 will fit an A341. Their catalog only lists Toyota and not Lexus and only model years '00-'14. The differences in pans are dipstick tube length/exit side, and pan depth.

I don't know if they sell direct; you might have to find a distributor. Would be worth a call to find a new one instead of one that got jacked on.
