Changing Oil Sump Gasket

[Espire]

Hi All,

 

What is the labour charges in changing oil sump gasket?

 

any bro change before?

 

tks

Is it leaking? If not, just leave it.

 

Labour sud not b that much as its quite straight forward.

 

Get your mech to do it the next time u change your engine oil.

 

Maybe u prefer to buy the gasket/"O" ring from the shop & pass it to your mech.

[Espire]

ya its leaking.. if not I cant be bothered also..

 

jus dun know how much is the labour, some quote me 100 bucks jus for labour.

You sure its the gasket leaking? Another possibility is the oil seal.

[Pisces69]

If it was hit by something, u also need to check if the sump is cracked or warped.

 

Labour just to change maybe $20-30. It is not that hard to do. Get it done with your oil change to make it easier & kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

 

If u close to your mech, he sud not charge you $100 just to change the gasket lah.

Does anyone know where can i get this oil sump gasket / crushed washer / drain plug gasket?

 

Called most stockist but they dont have it. It is not possible for me to remove it as I have just done an oil change recently.

[Seanboi]

Btw $100 just to change the gasket is ridiculous.

 

Unless it is inclusive of engine oil and oil filter.

Side track abit. Does the oil sump pan need to be taken out and clean?

If talking about drain plug gasket i think any workshop will do.

[Seanboi]

the washer is very cheap. Less den a dollar.

 

Do they use back the same oil after replacing?
