Re: Re: 96 Lumina Sedan NEED OIL PAN REPLACEMENT HELP

Yeah, they told me my serpantine belt was cracked, and that they would replace that for free when doing the oil pan.

When i had mine done originally a long time ago they dropped the engine and it cost about $400 just to drop it. while you have your engine dropped already, look at your timing belt if its been a while since you last had it replaced force them to throw on another one. it will stop you from having to pay a considerable amount of money later down the road to have it done.
