You have to drain your radiator before you remove your intake manifold! Otherwise you'll have coolant everywhere. I never had to change my oil after replacing my intake manifold gasket. Also, only use blue rtv sealant on the ends of the manifold, don't use those cheap end gaskets they give you. Make sure you use enough sealant to fill the gap.
