Removing
1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
2. Block the rear wheels, raise the front of the car and place it on stands.
3. Drain the engine oil.
4. If equipped, remove the connector from the oil temperature sensor, which is screwed into the oil pan.
5. Remove the auxiliary drive belt.
6. On models with air conditioning, unscrew the bolt securing the compressor to the pan and secure the compressor to the body with soft wire.
7. Gradually loosen and unscrew the pan mounting bolts. Because The pallet mounting bolts have different lengths, it is necessary to expand them in such a way that they fall into place during installation.
8. Use palm strokes to separate the oil pan from the cylinder block. If there is a gasket, remove it. When installing the pallet, use only a new gasket. With the sump removed, check the oil pump and the oil receiver screen.
9. On some engine models, a plate is installed between the sump and the cylinder block. If it is necessary to remove the plate, unscrew the two mounting bolts that are located at diagonally opposite corners of the plate.
Installation
1. Thoroughly clean the gasket residue on the mating surfaces of the oil pan and cylinder block.
2. If there is a plate between the sump and the cylinder block, clean the rest of the gasket from it and cover the top of the plate with sealant. Install the plate on the cylinder block and tighten the mounting bolts.
3. On models where the oil pan is installed directly on the cylinder block, clean the mating surfaces and lubricate with a thin layer of sealant.
4. On models where the sump is installed with a gasket, check that all traces of the old gasket have been removed and that the mating surfaces are dry and clean. Install a new gasket on the pallet.
5. Install the sump on the engine block and evenly and consistently tighten it with bolts.
6. On air-conditioned models, screw the compressor onto the sump.
7. Install the auxiliary drive belt and pressure regulator.
8. Connect the electrical connector to the oil temperature sensor.
9. Lower the car, fill the engine with oil and connect the negative terminal to the battery.
