George C Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I've been told it will cost over $2000 because I need to pull the engine to reseal the oil pan gasket. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaelse Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 In this thread this is discussed https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-3rd-gen-2001-2006/713614-oil-pan-gasket-and-removal.html Seems to be possible without lifting the engine a bit out of the way but very fiddly because of a tight fit. Seems excessive with 2000$ . Surely can not take a good mechanic that long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSomeRandomGuy Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I replaced my lower pan gasket in an afternoon in my garage but my upper one was leaking a bit. I've used AT-205 oil seal reviver in my engine for two oil changes and it stopped leaking. I recommend trying it before spending that kind of money. https://www.amazon.com/ATP-AT-205-Re-Seal-Stops-Bottle/dp/B000NVW1LM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=O5E3NYLWQXW3&keywords=at+oil+seal+reviver&qid=1667159380&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjQ0IiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=at+oil+seal+reviver%2Caps%2C791&sr=8-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
