Is it serious if the Civic chassis is scratched?

[RemingtonLee]

The severity of a scratch on the Civic chassis depends on which part of the chassis is damaged. The most serious scenario is the oil pan being scraped off. The exhaust pipe, located at the bottom of the vehicle, is also quite vulnerable. If it hits a hard, sharp rock, it can even be punctured. Generally, the front bumper and exhaust pipe of the Civic are more prone to being hit. Below is more detailed information: 1. Generally, scraping the undercarriage can cause scratches and deformation of the bottom part. In severe cases, it may damage the engine oil pan, although this is relatively unlikely. The scratched areas are prone to rust. 2. The oil pan of the engine and transmission is extremely susceptible to cracking during undercarriage scraping, leading to oil leakage. This is the most easily noticeable damage, but it requires prompt repair; otherwise, the damage to the engine could be permanent.
