How to change out an oilpan gasket

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your vehicle. Changing the oil pan gasket on your G20 involves draining the oil, removing the oil pan, and replacing the gasket. Start by lifting and securing the van on jack stands. Drain the oil into a pan and remove any bolts securing the oil pan to the engine. You may need to remove parts like the exhaust or a cross member for better access. Once the pan is off, clean the gasket surfaces thoroughly to ensure a good seal with the new gasket. Reinstall the oil pan with the new gasket, torquing the bolts in the correct sequence to the specified values. Then, refill the engine with oil and check for leaks. If you're not familiar with these steps or need additional guidance, a repair manual can be helpful. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered.
