does anyone know how hard it is to remove/replace the oil pan? I'd rather upgrade to an aluminum pan and do it myself.

I do my own oil changes but haven't paid much attention to the pan mounting bolts. I will explore doing this myself. I don't recall much being in the way.

It would be a huge help that if someone with a later 2018 used their VIN on Tasca to get the pick up tube P/N. Anything else associated with the pan for that matter.

Looks like at very least it is a pickup tube and seal that is different.

Not sure if you'd need to replace the pump as well.

Also- Used the Vin provided above. Here's what I'd imagine you'll need for the swap.

That is a huge help. Thank you. I just got back in town. Will be ordering some parts this week. Getting close for an oil change so I should be able to tackle this in the next couple of weeks.
