Hello, I am Danny.

Unfortunately, the Ford service guide states the engine needs to be removed to gain access for the oil pan removal. Sometimes there can be enough clearance to remove with engine in vehicle but the service guide says no (circled in red). Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions if needed. Danny-
