Coat the inside of the oilpan with primer and its less likely to happen again.

I would consider a chemical approach.

I have always wanted to try an electrolysis process, Watch "MACHINE SHOP TIPS #133 Rust Removal by Electrolysis on the Logan Lathe tubalcain" on YouTube

Post by: Flusher on April 28, 2015, 06:47:30 PM: Keeping in mind that I haven't tried this, so I really don't know first hand. If you watch the video by shopdogsam, "easy electrolysis,,,, the clean way" on YouTube
https://youtu.be/QOx5URgjTiU
that is recommended in the first video, he states that this process is "line-of-sight" and you might need to get creative with the anode(s).

Good luck,

Joe
