Do you have to lift motor to remove the oil pan on a 1973 Buick Riviera?

Yes, to remove the oil pan on a 1973 Buick Riviera, you typically need to lift the engine. This is necessary because the oil pan is often obstructed by the crossmember or other components. Using an engine hoist or jack to raise the engine slightly allows for sufficient clearance to remove the oil pan without damaging any parts. Always ensure to support the engine securely before attempting this.
