How hard is it to replace these engines does anyone have a step by step or just some usefull info that i might need to know about this car!! I put oil in it and it just pours right back out on the ground. And what else should i change while doing this. the car is an automatic thanks everyone!!

Vitals? Model?

Ive posted videos before on how to remove the engine. I believe its easier to drop the entire drivetrain from the car which gives you much easier access. Others suggest removing just the engine/tranny from the top. Your call. No special tools are required. You will need a 30mm socket for the drive shaft nuts. Stuby ratcheting wrenches are nice. PB Blaster is your friend.

Untill you post your vitals do NOT get another engine. You need to be specific in the new engine your choose so that it minimizes chances that something doesnt fit.

The car is a SL 1.9 L, the car is my relatives car and the mechanic said that she did not put oil in the car, he said it needed a new engine. Im getting the car for free all i have to do is put the engine in it which i found one with 70,000 on it for 400 from a local junk yard.
