To do this, however, first clean out the oil pan by disconnecting the cable to the negative of the battery and then unscrewing the engine oil dipstick. Set the parking brake, have the rear wheels blocked, bring the front of the car safely on jackstands and nick off the engine lower splash shields. empty the engine oil and take out the oil filter. then using an engine support cradle support the engine above and de-bolst the engine block-to-subframe bolts and lower the subframe using a transmission jack. Unattach all the clips that connect the transmission oil cooler lines that might run through the replacement part of the oil pan and unconnect the oil sensor connector to the oil pan. Unmount the oil pan mounting bolts and then insert the oil pan between the block and the pan without prying the block and the pan and damaging the sealing surfaces. Wipe out the oil pan contents and clean off any old sealant and pieces of gasket material off the block and pan mating areas, making sure the bolt holes in the block are clean and to verify that the oil pan flange is not distorted. Locate a bead of RTV sealant, on the body of the oil pan along the parting lines, where the rear main oil seal retainer and the front cover are, place the gasket on the block. Placing the oil pan on the block, carefully tightening the nuts/bolts in a crisscross pattern to the recommended torque, in quarter steps. Install the
Engine Mount bolts and steering gear and subframe to body bolts. At last, fill the engine up again with oil, replace a filter, then start the engine until it warms up to operating temperature, then check the engine leaks.
