My oil pan skid will be delivered shortly. I have no questions about the actual install, but I don't want to drain the oil. (The skid attaches via the oil pan bolts.) The Jeep only has 2k miles on it, so this oil is good for a while yet.
Obviously the oil needs to be cool because spilling is always a possibility. With that said, will the oil pan gasket hold the pan on when I slip the skid in place? I plan to support the pan with the jack while I unbolt it. My concern is for when I need to remove the jack to put the skid under. I'm sure someone can tell me if I'm just being lazy and borrowing trouble or if the shortcut would work.
