Oil Pan: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE: 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 a plastic scraping tool to remove traces of sealant.

Make sure that the mating faces are clean and free of foreign material. Use the General Equipment: Plastic Scraper

NOTE: If the oil pan is not secured within 10 minutes of sealant application, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface prep. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 10 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Clean and Apply a 3 mm (0.118 in) bead of silicone sealant.
