Hi I own a 2002 vq35de Maxima and my oil pan is leaking like a ****.

Seems like the pan is rusted and has 2-3 slow leaks.My question is how much approx its going to cost me to replace the oil pan at the dealer?I have a extended warranty that covers motor and tranny until 2009.Is the oil pan going to be covered with the waranty?

 

i had the same problem and mine was covered under the standard powertrain warranty.

 

IF its not covered, the part is cheap- bout 50 bux, and there should NOT be any more than 1 hour of labor. Pan is easier to access than the oil filter !

 

i agree, its about an hours worth of work. be prepaired, could get abit messy with the oil if your not careful.

 

i did mine about a month ago. took about an hour including draining the oil. the hard one to do is the 10MM bolt next to cat on the oil pan. make sure you clean it good before you put the new one on.

 

Thanx guys!!

Im going to the dealer to see if its under waranty!I may get it done by the dealer since im not too experienced with mechanic!

 

when i got my chnged it was about 70

 

Are you guys telling me that the Maxima's oil pan is fragile?

 

mine was heavily dented when i bought the car

 

Ok!I guess Nissan placed the pan at the wrong place!

 

plus it was leaking

 

yeah, they should have put it on the top of the engine. LOL
