Its mounted insideeven with the electrical connectionthat doesnt sound very safei am pretty good with fixing cars i have always repaired them myself

HI, yes, it is mounted inside - see attached Many auto manufacturers do that type of design As I stated, it is 20.3 hours. The engine MUST be removed for this job.

Does the whole oil pan have to come out

Hi, yes. Once again, 20.3 hours labor - remove the engine. There are not shortcuts on this one

I suppose i have the crossmember in the way

HI, lots of things in the way. If you are planning to do this yourself, then you will want to get a subscription to AllDataDIY.com that will walk you thru it and have all the torque specs

what would happen ifbi just left it alone and checked my oiL all the time

HI, Nothing. As long as you check the oil level routinely, there are no adverse issues from not replacing it
