oil pan gasket change
alldata quotes 16 hours of labor to change both of them, is there an easier way to accomplish this ?
Sorry i gave up searching since "oil" and "pan" were only 3 letter words

there is no gasket. it is RTV silicone. the only way to remove the upper oil pan is to drop the front sub frame, or remove the engine from the car.
why do you want to change it? very rare for it to be leaking? more likely the oil you may be seeing under the car is from higher up.. or rear or front main crank seals.
