Question: How hard is it to change the oil pan gasket on a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, comp g, 2004?
My family's mechanic stated it is around 4 1/2 hours of labor, most other mechanics are quoting from the same computer system.
Quotes are anywhere from $556 to $650 so far. They are all saying you need a special lift and crane to remove the oil pain. I looked at it and it looks to me like one of the easiest, straightforward jobs ever.
I've changed a clutch before so I don't see why I can't change a simple oil pan gasket. Do you know if you actually need a "special" lift and crane to remove the "carriage" for the oil pan?
Also, according to the computer system at all of these repair shops I called for a quote, there is a gasket on an 04, grand prix, gtp comp g. Thanks!
