BIGTIME57 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I have a 2010 Ford Edge and wanted to know if anyone has ever changed their oil pan gasket on the 3.5L ? If so any issues or estimate on how long it will take and what needs to be taken off to change.....thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_bova Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I've never looked under the car, but why would the whole engine need to be removed for an oil pan gasket? seems like something that is accessible from below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks simple at a glance but the timing cover has to be removed because it is attatched to the pan which means valve covers etc also need removing along with PS etc....nice weekend job its good fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_bova Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 my guess is that you don't remove the timing cover, you just remove the bottom bolts that connect to the pan through the timing cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
