Oil pan replacement Need Advice!
Hi everyone, I have a 2008. My V10 needs a new oil pan. Iv done most the repairs on her but found out that I will need to lift the engine and move the tranny back and alot of other work. Iv looked around on the web for all the info I can get but there's not much out. Hoping somebody can help me. Originally I was thinking it was a pretty simple process. But it's not a Mazda and just wondering if anybody has done there's and what I'm looking at work wise with replacement. Currently she almost 400k miles and pulls a trailer everyday no problem. These things are a beast. Any help would be much much appreciated. Thank you

Boy not much for interest on this one. I'm thinking that there aren't any tips or tricks to it. Lift the engine enough to get the pan out and get it done. Why does it need replacing out of curiosity?

This is a tough job. Looked under my F-450, pretty crowded. Plus the overhang of the cab over the engine looks like you need to lift the cab up to raise the engine up. And the engine has to be lifted up to get the pan off. I would consider replacing my pan gasket if it were not such a pita.
