you rock..!
FINALLY got that oil pan off..! (96 camry V6)
First snuck the tip of a bucknife under the nut flange, wiggle wiggle wiggle.
Then stuck a nail file under there, more wiggle...
FINALLY got a screwdriver under there, then hammered on the handle like all heck.
STUD CAME OUT with nut..! Whew..! Took over 2 hours.
Cleaned all the boogers out of there, changed that oil (which had 1/2 a can of Sea Foam in there) and I’m ALL GOOD..! No more low oil pressure warnings.
I’m going to take out and service the oil pump (never done it before, but whateverz).
Only prob is some grey smoke on startup, I’m thinking maybe it’s the little valve cover thingies or the valve guides.
But my powers are growing cuz I’m learning lots and sort of enjoying it.
BEST ELECTION EVAH, BTW..!!
Valve stem seals, my 99 Rav does the same thing. Annoying but relatively harmless.
