Oil pan gasket w or w/o windage tray?
1995 SSEI bonneville.
My oil pan gasket leaks a bit. I want to buy another to change it while doing my next oil change but it seems I have to know if I have a windage tray of not. Anyway to tell without dismantling the oil pan?
Also, what is the right torque for these bolts?
Thanks a lot!

You should have the plastic tray on the gasket. I only see the tray built in to the aluminum oil pans.
Should be 125 inch pounds. Snug them, then half torque in a cross pattern. Then full torque in same cross pattern. Then check all bolt torque again.

Ok, the tray would be in the gasket. That'* the part I didn't understand. Thanks.
At worst, would it be a drama to use a non-windage tray on one that had it and vice versa? It'* just to prevent oil pressure loss during cornering?
