About Skip Bollinger
Expertise
Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip

Automotive - changing a punctured oil pan nissan altima 05


Expert: Skip Bollinger - 1/27/2008

Question
I ran over some trash in the road. pulled over, checked for damage and what i hit, -a steel mesh object- found no damage, no engine lights came, arrived home 5 miles later, turned off the car, smelled some burnt chemical, looked, heard, oil pouring out from underneath the front passenger side by the left front wheel.  saw 4 or 5 pinky sized puncture marks where the oil has now completely drained out. i know not to start the car up, question, how do you changed an oil pan on a 2005 nissan altima, 3.5?
will anxiously await your reply, already going to order the part from a part store, where i work.

Answer
Julie,
  I'm not better than you. I'm a Parts Professional also, NOT a Tech. I am not qualified to answer this question. If you work in a parts store, just grab a Haynes or Chilton manual for your car and read how it is done. I'm not trying to be rude but I don't have an answer. Why don't you call some of your Wholesale Customers and ask them to look it up on All Data or Mitchell?? I'm sure they subscribe to those services.
Good luck.
