I got mine at Acura for about $90.00. And yea, I put it on myself. I am not the best mechanic, but I am not afraid to learn. The oil pan was fairly simple to get off, you just have to be careful when you break the seal not too damage the surface. After all of the bolts were removed, I wedged a flat-head between the oilpan and block, and it broke the seal. The only thing is, that I have a DC Sports header, and after the oilpan was loose, I had to unbolt the flexpipe (lower) portion of the header. I used a gasket + Hondabond to ensure a good seal. After that, you just methodically tighten down the bolts. What I mean is, lightly tighten one, then tighten the one across from it....and so on. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN THESE BOLTS!! REMEMBER THE TIGHTNESS OF WHEN YOU UNSCREW THEM, BECAUSE THAT IS ABOUT HOW TIGHT YOU WANT THEM TO BE WHEN YOU GET DONE. Anyway, holler at me if you need any help...
OH!! and make sure you drain the oil first!!!LOL!
