oil pan removal

on a 95 f250 4x4 5.8l, does the engine need to be lifted out to change the oil pan, or is there a other way to do it?

Lifted out, no. Lifted, yes. Most of the time you have to remove the upper intake and sometimes disconnect the exhaust to get it up high enough to clear the crossmember.

I did my 93. I had to change the oil pump. Did it all in about 2 hours. Didn't rremove anything up top other than the engine mounts. Could have maybe removed the tranny mount to tip the engine further, but I didn't do it and it was easy enough.

When I put a new oil pan Gasket on I tried lifting the motor and that didn't work cause it hit the fire wall, the whole front of the motor was off of it cause I was working on the timing chain. I even had the transmission cross member off as well. One word of advice, put a new OEM oil pan gasket on instead of the cork gasket the cork doesn't last as long.

You don't have to lift the engine at all to replace just the gasket. And NEVER use the cork gasket, always get the rubber one-piece.

Does replacing two oil pan gaskets on two different trucks myself without lifting the engine count?

Fair enough Andy- I didn't mean any offense- just didn't want to attempt it and get myself into trouble. I was just hoping at least one other person here could confirm it as one man's luck is usually my curse, y'know?
