Hope this helps (remember to rate this answer).

Remove the motor mount bolts and raise the engine slowly. Don't dent the oil pan when raising the engine! After the engine is raised, you should have enough clearance to remove the pan.

You need to hold the engine on a trolley jack by lifting it on the oil pan itself to then undo the engine mount. Once the mount is removed lower the jack, remove the remaining pan bolts and then remove the pan proper. Refitting is a matter of fitting the pan with some of the bolts, loosely, to then lift the engine a little with the jack to refit the mount, followed by fitting the remaining pan bolts and tightening. Its a matter of just doing things in a certain order but it is easy enough when you do that.

depends on whether you have 2WD or 4WD. The manual says if you have 2WD you have to remove the tranny,but not if you have 4WD. See procedures below.

a lot tougher job than in the old days!

The engine oil pan is made of laminated steel and has a single plane sealing surface. The sandwich style oil pan gasket has an integrated windage tray and steel carrier. The sealing area of the gasket is molded with rubber and is designed to be reused as long as the gasket is not cut, torn or ripped

1.) Disconnect negative battery cable.
2.) Remove the radiator fan
3.) Remove the intake manifold you need to do this to install the engine support tool
4.) Install engine support Tool #8534 Do not raise engine at this time but make sure it is tight!
5.) Remove the structural cover
6.) Remove both left and right side engine mount through bolts
7.) Raise engine to provide clearance to remove oil pan.
8.) Drain engine oil and remove oil filter
9.) Remove the oil pan mounting bolts and oil pan.
10.) Unbolt oil pump pickup tube and remove tube and oil pan gasket from engine.

NOTE:Do not pry on oil pan or oil pan gasket. Gasket is mounted to engine and does not come out with oil pan.
