Driving from my place to the ex's place for my weekend with my daughters, and I get a call from my roommate. She says her dad noticed an oil puddle where I was parked. Sure enough, my oil pan gasket crapped out at the front and right side, total mess. 2 or 3 quarts unloaded. I have my 8 in the 6 position. Someone said that there arent any crossmember issues when removing the pan from this spot. Can anyone confirm this? How long do you think it would take to replace? And if I got frustrated with time constraints and such, how much do think a shop would charge to replace it?
