Did you buy the car from a dealership or a person? If from a dealership you should take a look at your paper work. Most dealerships change the oil before they give you the car. If there is anything that says they did, you might be able to catch them in a breach of contract and get them to pay for the new oil pan or take the car back.

If you bought directly from a person they certainly would have known about it. If they provided any assurance of a good maintenence record you may have a claim that would hold up in small claims court.

Also check to see if your state has lemon laws.
