I have a 2018 1500 5.3 4WD. noticed a while back I that the lower oil pan gasket seems to be failing. I plan on dropping it this weekend and replacing the gasket. Does anyone on here have any any experience doing this? Any thing else I should check out or think about replacing while I'm under there? Thanks in advance.

  I'm stumped but it sounds like a brain teaser. I'm assuming you're already accounting for any oil saturated in filter media that gets tossed with the old filter, although that would be a fairly large filter to hang on to an entire quart.

  Then why even change it? What got you the boot before this?

  So you’re saying when you fill with new oil it reads full. But when you drain it, it reads full but comes out a qt low? I have no words.
