that's a fairly simple job on that car,you have to remove the starter then drop the pan ,and remove the two bolts that hold the pump on,you can probably just replace the pump and clean the pick up tube out on that car,but beware there could be other problems caused by low oil pressure or what ever reason your changing it,its not as complicated as some people like to make it out to be,clean the oil pan really good before you put it back on, i did one last week that came out really good,but it was really gummed up bad,make note of anything that you have to remove to get the pan off,if you,ll take your time with it you can do as good of a job as a shop can do on it for half the cost,good luck with it.Anybody know how to change an oil pump in a 2000 dodge intrepid?
your welcome.
