Default Oil pan gasket replacement

So is there anything else I need to do while the subframe is down, like the motor mounts etc
The car is 2007 with 70K miles
Thanks

Definitely the motor mounts since frame is down. You can still install without it down but easier with it down.

So it all started with a slight engine leak, thought it was Valve cover--- replaced but the leak continued so ended up replacing the oil pan gasket/motor mounts/hood shocks/new spark plugs --- all done

Needs new tires now and good for a while-- IA

That's great you got it all done. You probably should change your name to slow because you took your time with the project. 😂 j/k Glad everything's done. I need to do mine but I'll get rid of it before I drop mine again.
