Just curious, how involved is it to remove the "lower" oil pan?.

I've searched and found that the upper pan is a pain in the arse, but what about the lower?

50k clicks, and seepage at the gasket line (don't trust the dealers here)


KGT ???

Maybe keep on searching "oil leak" but if I remember correctly the lower pain wasn't too tough. Upper pan means the trans is coming out.

I had my lower oil pan gasket replaced in Nov.and if I am correct they told me it was a 8 hr.job. Glad I was under warranty. Good Luck

Flat rate is less than 2 hours for the lower and 12 for the upper oil pan.
