Oil Pan

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

NOTE: This engine has 2 oil pans. If the crankshaft is going to be serviced, the side crankcase pan has to be removed. If the oil pump sump is going to be serviced, the bottom oil pan has to be removed.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Wait at least 90 seconds after the negative battery cable is disconnected before performing work on models equipped with an airbag.

   CAUTION
   Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch is turned to the

   LOCK position and the negative battery cable has been disconnected. The SRS is equipped with a back-up power source so that if work is started within 90 seconds of disconnecting the negative battery cable, the SRS may deploy. When the negative terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and radio will be canceled. Before you start working, make a note of the contents memorized by the audio memory system. When you have finished working, reset the audio systems and adjust the clock. Never use a back-up power supply from outside the vehicle.

2. Drain the engine oil.
3. Remove the oil level sensor and gasket. Be careful not to drop the sensor when removing.
4. Remove the 14 bolts and 2 nuts. Carefully pry the pan from the engine, being careful not to damage the flange.

   To install:

5. Before installing, thoroughly clean the gasket mating surfaces. Apply gasket sealer 08826–00080 or equivalent, to the pan and assembly within 5 minutes.
6. Install the pan and tighten the bolts and nuts to 48 inch lbs. (5 Nm).
7. Install the gasket, oil sensor and tighten to 9 ft. lbs. (13 Nm).
8. Install the remaining components.
9. Refill the engine with oil.
10. Connect the negative battery cable. Start the engine and check for leaks.
