Delco and felpro will be of the same quality for the most part.

I know that the 92-99 generation's oil pan comes out with no issue. I would imagine this gen is the same. I'll let someone else more knowledgable chime in to confirm.

Its very easy, nothing is in the way of dropping the oil pan straight down. Just make sure you clean the mating surfaces well. I have never had to use any sealer on mine just the gasket.

2x and take your time putting it back on and ensuring the gasket is sitting properly as well as not over tighting. it'll take you 10 minutes to get it all off but maybe 3x as long putting it back on.
1991 Red/Maroon Bonneville LE - Was pristine, rebuilding due to deer :(
1991 Black Bonneville SE - Parting out
Maybe someday an SSEi
