Hi all,

I have been searching all over the place for "how to" oil pan removal so I can change the gasket. I did see the FSM procedure but does anyone have any how to with pics, something easy for a newbie like me to follow? Or any advice? Thanks.

Drain the oil, take off the bolts, scrape off the old gasket if there is any left on there, replace gasket, bolt the cover back up and torque to spec.

wouldnt mind seeing a pic of it removed myself, just to see whats under there.

Id imagine its pretty straight forward though OP, theres nothing in the way or anything, just the bolts that hold it on and a putty knife maybe to pry it off the engine block and bobs your uncle
