Can the oil pan be changed from under the car without doing anything else but dropping the pan or am I in for surprises?

Just trying to switch out oil pans and need some info before hand.

thanks

This may go without saying, but you need to drain and refill the oil.

Also, you need to remove the tranny brace after removing the header.

i've removed all that's listed... but i still can't take off the oil pan, seems to be stuck cuz of the sealant???

wow! sounds like you got your work cut out. kelly, are you switching out the oem pan for a "waffled" pan? hope everything works out.

kepani-who would like a myoogen waffled pan.

Im sure you know but, install a new gasket with the new pan to avoid doing the job twice.
