My car's chassis cross strut is removable as well as the parking brake plate. I can pull the oil pan from the bottom of the car. My oil pan is a 10 quart aluminum by Dennis Quella. It is a great oil pan although it can be challenge to seal. There is very little clearance between the back of the pan and the flywheel plate. I have the transaxle out of the car at the moment for the CV axle conversion and I will probably pull the flywheel and inspect the rear main seal since there is easy access at this time.
