Oil Pan: Installation

  1. Apply sealant GM P/N 1052080 (or equivalent) to the front cover-to-block joint and to the rear crankshaft seal-to-block joint. Apply the sealant for about 25 mm (1 inch) in both directions from each of the four corners. Connect the oil pan gasket to the oil pan. Install the oil pan onto the engine.

  3. Install the strut pads. Lower the vehicle. Fill the crankcase the the proper quantity and grade of engine oil. Connect the negative battery cable.
