You are comparing the oil pan job on a full-sized van to a small economy car? I can do the one on my Mustang in the driveway by dropping the motor mount bolts, does that make it better than your Colt?
Come on, that is hardly a great comparison......
Yeah, I thought that was funny too. Lets compare the replacement of a oil pan on a full size van to a small front wheel drive car.
Virtually every van in the same class is going to be a PITA to do engine work on.
