Hello Parmy,the only way is to remove the sump and this would mean lowering the subframe to allow access to the bolts and to remove the sump.It takes about 3 hours and you will need toreplace the subframe bolts as they are streatch bolts also its adviseable to check the wheel alignment after as moving the subframe can knock the camber out.If you have got the time and its your first attempt allow 1 day and also consider removing the rocker cover and cleaning out all the crap in there also and check the breather pipes and give them a good old clean.When you have reassembled change the oil again after 1000 miles to remove any left over sludge and jobs a goon un.If you do it yourself you will know its been cleaned out as some workshops may shy away from cleaning the system fully and also see if there are any good oil flushes avaliable to you.Good luck and get those overhalls on
