That is a shocking statement coming from a mechanic. These people either have no idea what they are doing or they think you’re an idiot they can take advantage of.

The crank does not sit in the pan, bathed in oil. It is fed oil by the oil pump and sits above the pan, out of direct contact with oil.

You’ve got a big problem with these people.
