First Time Owner of a Toyota and first DIY on a Toyota.

Ive had many mid 80's BMW and had no problem fixing them but man my first DIY for my newly picked up 95 Celica was no joke. It wasnt hard but got confused in what to take off. I did the oil pan gasket since it was leaking and it was no fun. If I had to do it again itll be:

Jack car up
Stands
Drain Oil
Remove plastic cover holding the engine mounts
Loosen bolts that hold engine mount to subframe
loosen front subframe bolts
jack car up from the transmission
remove the bolts covering the transmission cover
and remove the oil pan.

I totally did it the wrong way but you live and you learn!
