I've got an 03 cavalier and i managed to put a hole in the oil pan some how...is there anything more to it then just unbolting it and putting another one on? im sure theres probably a gasket but ive never changed a pan before...can anyone help me out?

Gasket and pan, that's all you need as far as I know. Oh, and do you have a shop manual? You will want that. Not much torque is required to bolt on the pan, and knowing the torque pattern helps. Just be glad the engine is pointing the "right" way with the exhaust manifold in the rear. In the Civic (D series engines) you had to remove the exhaust downpipe to get the pan off.
