From my own dreaded exprience having to work on them, and the early TL (which some had the vigor engine) I absolutely hate them. It's not that bad of a car but working on them makes me want to quit and try Mcdonalds for a career. Last one i worked on the guy hit a curb or whatevr and the oil pan was smashed and cracked. Anyways oil pans shouldn't be too hard right? try again. It took around 18 hours to change it out. the whole front end had to come out. I dunno what the hell they were thinking when designing the engine/transmission layout. Know any other cars where the axle goes through the oil pan?
