Callout	Component Name
1	Engine Oil Level Indicator Control Wiring Harness
2	Wiring Harness Connector Bolt CAUTION: Refer to Fastener Caution . Tighten 10 N.m (89 lb in)
3	Upper Oil Pan Assembly Procedure Ensure proper use of room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealant. Refer to Use of Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) and Anaerobic Sealant NOTE: The lower crankcase and oil pan mating surfaces must be free of contamination prior to applying the sealer. Install and align the oil pan to block within 20 minutes of applying the sealer. The oil pan must be fastened to final torque specification within 60 minutes of applying the sealer. Additional sealant is necessary to reduce the possibility of leakage where the cylinder head to engine block interface along the bead path flange on the front cover. Apply a 3 mm bead of sealer around the perimeter of the oil pan. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (Europe LV7)Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (North America LV7) . Install the oil pan on the lower crankcase, ensure the oil pan locating pins align with the lower crankcase.
4	Oil Pan Bolt (Qty: 12) Procedure Apply sealant to the oil pan bolts. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (Europe LV7)Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (North America LV7) . Hand start the oil pan bolts. Torque to specification when all oil pan bolts are installed hand-tight. Tighten 10 N.m (89 lb in)
5	Oil Pan Bolt (Qty: 2) Procedure Apply sealant to the oil pan bolts. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (Europe LV7)Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (North America LV7) . Hand start the oil pan bolts. Torque to specification when all oil pan bolts are installed hand-tight. Tighten 10 N.m (89 lb in)
6	Oil Pan Bolt (Qty: 2) Procedure Apply sealant to the oil pan bolts. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (Europe LV7)Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (North America LV7) . Tighten all the oil pan bolts in sequence. Inspect for excessive sealer around the oil filter mounting area when final torque is achieved. If extra sealer is present, remove and clean accordingly. Tighten 10 N.m (89 lb in)
7	Lower Oil Pan Procedure Connect the oil pump control valve wiring harness connector. Use a NEW lower oil pan. Ensure proper use of room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealant. Refer to Use of Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) and Anaerobic Sealant Apply a 5 mm bead of sealer around the perimeter of the lower oil pan. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (Europe LV7)Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (North America LV7) . Install the lower oil pan on the upper oil pan, ensure the oil pan locating pins align with the lower oil pan.
8	Lower Oil Pan Bolt (Qty: 12) Procedure Tighten the oil pan bolts in sequence. Tighten 10 N.m (89 lb in)
