All the oil leaked out of my car when I start it. I changed the oil turned the car on and all the oil came out. The oil filter and oil pan screw were on nice and tight.

not the easiest job at home but if you have way to lift the car securely and tools not a problem.
first lift the car and secure.drain the oil.remove the exhaust pipe to clear the oil pan,remove the bolts from oil pan. between the motor and transmission is a small plate.remove the plate to access two more bolt from the oil pan. with big flat screwdriver pray the pan on the back side.you will find lip on block and the pan to insert the pray bar or screwdriver.clean the pan from old gasket.clean the block from old gasket. install new gasket on the pan and insert 4 screw to hold in place.on front of the engine is the timing cover connection.one drop of silicon will seal the gap.place the pan and drive the 4 screw 3-4 turns.install the rest ant slightly tight all across. (ask you auto store for silicone gasket. the old cork is not so good) .tight all screw again.don't over tight.stop if the gasket start to deform out of the pan.replace the oil filter. refill oil and start the car.check for leaks.
good luck.

purchace a new pan gasket and filter . put car on hoist . remove pan bolts use a screw driver pry pan carrfully from trans mission being careful not to bend pan edge [gasket seals there] pour oil from pan into pail with out spilling . wipe floor of any drips so you dont slip . remove filter 2 bolts normaly replace filter make sure o ring if it has one hasnt fallen out . clean and replace pan torque bolts to 28ft lbs . lower car fill with 3 liters oil start, idle ,check level add till full dont over fill dont hurry . let run for a bit look under car foe any leaks this is a basic trans filter oil change for all makes.

Remove the oil drain plug. Remove the oil filter. Install new oil filter using a little bit of new oil on the seal. Replace the drain plug. Fill with oil through oil filler on valve cover.

Best of luck, Jim

When you change the oil filter, you need to put some oil around the rubber seal, it helps to seal the filter against the oil pan. Same thing happened to me.

The oil filter is located under the car, on the engine block, next to the oil pan. Locate the oil filter and oil drain plug underneath your Pontiac Grand Am. The oil drain plug is under the oil pan with the filter housed nearby.
Oil filter cartridge is located on the oil pan. you will need a special tool that can be purchased at an auto parts store. drain the oil, use the tool to remove the cartridge, replace it, screw the cover back on , screw drain plug back in, refill oil , start the car and check for leaks. To reset the "change oil" light, just key the car on and hit the gas peddal 3 times pretty quickly. You'll hear a different sounding chime than you are use to, and the light will be off. Thanks. Keep updated for any more query. You can rate this solution and show your appreciation.
