I all. My oil pan is leaking. How hard is it to replace the gasket? I know it will take 3 or 4 hours, give or take, but what does it involve? I have not changed one in an escalade before. Thank you in advance.

When I clicked on the link, it said access denied. I went to a different web browser and it worked. Thanks.

There's a great write up in here already and it's pretty easy and straight forward, just do a quick search it'll pop up.

I did mine two weeks ago. it is pretty straight forward but hella-messy. My independent garage quoted me $300 including the new oil/filter. I spent ~$110-120 for the gasket, RTV, and new oil and it took me most of the day. I admit that I am a little ADD and not very organized when in the middle of a project but I got oil all over the place and myself. I'd recommend letting the pan drain for longer than the ten minutes I did before dropping the pan. There is some sense of accomplishment when completing any task but this is a gold star I could have done without. Also, the front diff, which you have to take out, is very heavy. Be sure to use a jack to lower it.

Thanks for the info.
