Pan, Oil: Cleaning
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
CAUTION:
Clean the upper and lower oil pans, timing chain cover, rear seal retainer and engine block mating surfaces thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol in preparation for sealant application. All surfaces that seal with RTV must be oil and contamination free to ensure proper adhesion of the RTV to the mating surface to prevent leaks.
- Clean the oil pan in solvent and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
- Remove all residual sealant (1, 2, 3) from the upper and lower oil pans. Refer to ENGINE GASKET SURFACE PREPARATION .
