I was crusing around looking for some rice and blam the fucking pot hole from hell! This thing could eat a fucking geometro. My drivers side wheels go into it and it ate my oil pan. It totaly domolished my oil pan for my 95 GS. What do I need to change along with my oil pan? What do I need to do to change it? (take out my exhaust too?) I also need a new one. Anyone got one?

WTF how did it hit your oil pan without hitting the frame of your entire car let alone the bumper and most of the under car parts. your oil pan is one of the highest things under your car. your exhaust pipe that comes down is even about 1 inch lower then your oil pan. How did that happen unless your oil pan is like super really low?

i just want to add that fu..ing up your oil pan is pretty easy and every1 should be very carefull about it.
as for exchangeing it Squirll, i would try local junkyards. not sure for the 420a, butall u have to do is unskrew all the bolts( about 16-20 10mm socket) and make sure u got a new oil pan gasket and some RTV. as for the exsaust, i believe u will get away, by not need to take it down. hope it helps.also while u got the pan out ,u can get and measure your trust bearing distanse,but thats only if u know what i'm talking about. good luck...

1. Remove the oil plug and drain the oil into a container.2. When oil is completely drained, install the plug and tighten to 25 ft. lbs. (34Nm)3. Remove the engine oil dipstick and tube assembly. Place them out of the way.4. Remove the 2 bolts holding the front plate and take if off. 5. Remove the oil pan mounting bolts (13 bolts).6. Pull the oil pan and gasket off.7. Put the oil pan on a workspace for cleaning and drilling.

LoL I knew thats what you were talking about. I am going to fix the car then sell it, and when I find a deal I will get a turbo hopefully.
