Oil Pan: Installation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 24 other vehicles, including the 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada, 1997 GMC Sonoma, 1997 GMC Savana, 1997 GMC Safari, and 1997 GMC Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: If transmission and oil pans are removed at same time, transmission pan must be installed before oil pan.
  1. Apply RTV sealant to front cover-to-cylinder block junction and rear main bearing-to-cylinder block junction.
  2. Using feeler gauge check clearance between 3 oil pan-to-transmission contact points. If clearance exceeds .0100" (.025 mm) at any of 3 points, repeat installation steps until clearance is within specification. See Fig 1. Install oil pan. Tighten oil pan bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  table. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Fill crankcase.
