Does anybody know how much it would cost to...?

change an oil pan gasket on a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE?Does anybody know how much it would cost to...?It depends on where your oil pan is located. If it is easily accessible then it shouldn't take too long. If it is in a place that is hard to reach, then your looking at the job taking a long time. A shop is going to charge you anywhere between $50-165 an hour. So shop arround!



Some vehicles have the oilpan in an area that the entire motor needs pulled to get to. Other vehicles might have it where you can even see it.



The gasket itself is arround $20 (at least for my car).



Hope this helpsDoes anybody know how much it would cost to...?450Does anybody know how much it would cost to...?No.Does anybody know how much it would cost to...?Installation will cost you more than the gasket itself. Just buy the gasket and shop around for labor. Tell the mechanic exactly what you want them to do. Don't buy the gasket in the dealer, please. Dont waste your money for that.
