What is time for oil pan gasket replacement?
Doing one in a shop right now in a 2005 (after just finishing one in a 2001 the day prior) they giving me 4.5 hours
Also the 2005 in doing has the clearance, I don't need to raise motor or drop subframe (I did in the 2911 though) and that job prior was 7.3 hours according to my shop
