You are insanely rich if you plan on doing this at the dealer... You need to pull the oil pan an have the pan clened and the oil pickup screen cleaned. The dealer will charge for this as for a 5 hour job (I think)

Well if your car is anything like my car than the subframe needs to be lowered. It's just going to be very expensive that's all...
