Please do not use the oil pan to support engine weight in any instance.

I've seen people use the oil pan to support the engine weight either on the lift saddle or on wood planks on top of the lift saddle.

Either way, minimum risk is nothing happens, or you shift the pan and induce leaks at the oil pan gasket, or the oil pan collapses, braking the oil pump delivery pipe or damaging the oil pump itself.

I've used the plate secured to the North American driver side housing to which the A/C and power steering pump to support the engine during a motor mount replace.

Or use the overhead engine support method as is oft-mentioned in numerous articles and threads.

Also, please check your transmission mount. If both engine mounts are sheared, the transmission mount you have their has encountered inordinate stresses causing premature failure.

Hope that helps.
