2001 Caravan Oil Pan Gasket Change
Hey Everyone, I noticed that the pan was pretty wet this morning, time to Change. I am just wondering if I need to any tips for this, or is it as straight forward as it seems. I know there is a gasket, but should I put sealant on as well (the great stuff)? Does anyone know the torque for the bolts. or pattern to reinstall. I am a newbie home repair, but this seems like something I can tackle!
Thanks for any help!

Tizzy. I have two brackets that make it impossible to get my oil pan cover off without first removing them. I have 06 grand caravan. Any tips about how to remove them and the size of the nuts needing removed. I removed the tranny pan and change filter fluid--no problem but oil pan looks more difficult.
