I said nothing about "social media". You could be troglodyte living in a cave somewhere, if you pull the pan and reseal it yourself you are causing potential warranty issues.
As @
Tcoat said, I'm not saying not to do it, I'm saying weigh the risks. Might be worth the money to have the dealer do it, might not be. That's up to the individual to decide.

"inspecting the problem" is different than pulling the pan, checking to see if there is an issue, resealing the pan (using the same process as the OEM) and then having an engine failure. If you can't see that we'll agree to disagree.

Ugm, OK sure. Feel free to go with that.
BTW, I don't have a stake in this either, other than an interested party. I did live through the valve spring issue, which was very similar (basically the same issue). Fortunately for me I had a competent mechanic who did the repair correctly, but I do feel for those that have failures then and now.
