    Hi ,
    I bent my oil pan and need to take off a bar that is over it, going front to back. It is a 2011 Prius and I can't find the name and number of that part. Is there anywhere I can look specifically or does someone have that information for me? I would greatly appreciate it.

    Picture?

    being new, you may need to build up a post count before you can post pics.

    For the life of me I can’t picture “bar over oil pan”; any more info?

    might be having a senior moment though.

    Now I’m thinking: maybe someone added an aftermarket stiffener bar? Here’s a pic of stock 3rd gen, if I’m no mistaken:

    If it's not leaking and only bent and there's no issues with the engine, it's not worth the hassle. It's purely cosmetic.

    Pics are needed.
    I agree, it's likely an aftermarket frame stiffner.

    I too would like to see a picture to determine how badly it is bent.
