oil pan + sensor

Post by srtgtr34 » Sat Jan 02, 2010 7:08 pm

I have a couple drips everynight where I park my car. I know for a fact that two are from the pan and one is coming from my faulty sensor, so I want to replace them for my next oil change.

I will be buying a new oil pan gasket, so does anything major have to be removed in order to get the pan out, other than the dust shield(s) and oil filter plate?

Autozone only lists an oil switch, is that the same thing as the oil sensor?

About where is the oil sensor?

Thanks.

Everything from gaping holes in the back floor panel, to missing interior, from failing clutches, to having the clear coat applied before the paint, this car takes the cake as the worlds worst idea of a car.

Yeah oil pan gasket is easy, I did it the same time as my oil change so the filter was already off. If I remember correctly there was just the one bracket that had to be removed.

Yeah, the structural collar connecting the pan to the trans will need to be removed. If you've never taken it off, those bolts'll be pretty tuff.
