OK, this is much clearer now. Thanks. Sorry if I misunderstood you. Your plan of attack sounds reasonable. You should do it, but forego the oil sump pan option.

You should also consider a brake fluid change, coolant change and a tranny fluid change. Brake fluid would be the most critical of these three.

How are the tires?
