my oil change place refused to do my last change due to how bad she was leaking. thanks to this video I was finally able to change out my gasket. the old one was nonexistent!!! completely blown out and gone. I am so grateful for these tutorials, I love my car so much but mechanics always wanna make a stink about how hard she is to work on

I’d check the oil cooler o-ring before doing the oil pan gasket. There’s no reason for the pan gasket to leak although they can but the cooler o-rings are notorious for leaking and they will leak down to the pan surface giving the impression it’s the pan gasket that’s failed.

Those 2 small bolts in the middle holes near the trans are giving me ALOT of trouble, any suggestions getting them off...?

Which engine is this?

Those hidden screws got stripped and cost me hours of work

No sealer over the gasket?
