Well, I know that in order to take the oil pan out, you have to drop the engine cradle and lift the engine up. So that means there is at least 8 hours for dismantling and another 1 hour & trip to the parts washer. With new oil and coolant flush...
8 x 2 + 1 hours x $80/hour = $1360 in labor
Oil change and coolant flush = $150
Oil pan gasket = $30
Shop towels and misc. = $20
Parts washer = $20
About $1500 oil change, give or take couple of hunderd. Am I close? :)
I hope it was covered under warranty...
