Removal And Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan can cause engine failure.
  1. Remove the oil pan. For additional information, refer to Oil Pan  in this article.
  2. Remove the nut, the bolts, the oil pump screen and pickup tube and the gasket. Discard the gasket.
    • To install, tighten the bolts to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
    • To install, tighten the nut to 32 Nm (24 lb-ft).
    3. CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use silicone gasket remover and a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant. Follow the directions on the packaging.
  3. Clean the gasket mating surfaces using a plastic scraping tool.
  4. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
