It is not at all unsual for the pan to still be stuck on as over time the gasket becomes frozen in place. There are a couple of tricks to freeing it.





You can put a piece of 2X4 along the side of it to spread out the tension and then bang on the 2X4 with a large mallet (focusing your blows adjacent to to the bottom corners of the oil pan to maximize leverage against the seal) and this will often break the seal.





You can also use a sharp thin blade (putty knife, or regular knife) and try to work along the seam where the gasket is and pry it loose gradually breaking the seal.





Now a couple of cautions here. Don't use a large chisel or anything like that, as you may gouge the sealing surface or distort the oil pan, and not be able to get a good seal thereafter.





As far as the mallet and 2X4 approach goes, don't hit is so hard that it bends the oil pan, and don't use long hard blows that might drive the pan sideways once you free it. Remember, inside the oil pan there is an oil-pickup tube which is essentially the siphon hose that allows the oil pump to suck oil out of the pan. It tends to be metal and fairly fragile, and you do not want to bend it as it will thereafter impede the oil pump's ability to scavenge oil from the pan.How do u change a oil pan on a 98 oldsmobile achieva?
