How do you change the oil pan on a 1999 Grand prix?

Answer 1

It should be the same as a 1997. I just did one on 9/22/07 I had to undo the upper two engine mounts, passanger side lower mount and driver side. Do not undo the bolts that are under the car undo the once on the top of the mount, you can see them if you remove the inspection covers, then just below were your belt runs you will see two nut, all the mounting nuts are 15 m. Here is the hard part and I mean hard I had to remove 5 bolts that hold the mount to the block and remove the mount, the pan would just not come out by unbolting it from the sub-frame. the 2 front bolt and 2 in the back are not bad but there is one in the back that I could only get 2 fingers up there to get to the 5 bolt. Getting it out not bad getting it back in took me 1 hour. Make SURE YOU REMOVE THE OIL LEVEL SENSOR. If you brake it check with a napa to get a new one they are the cheapest 26 dollars auto zone has to order it and it was 30 some dollars. After you get the oil pan back in and bolted down the rest is not bad, if you can use a chery picker would be best so when you lower the engine back down you can guid it back into the mounts. I was on this job for 8 hours it calls for 3, if you have never unbolted a engine on the newer cars or in you do not have paitents TAKE IT IN it is a lot of work and time. I will never do one again for FREE I did this one and it was a good $300 dollar job. Good luck
