To change the oil pan, you have to block the rear wheels, parking brake first then raise the front part of the car on jackstands. Working under the car, take out the lower splash cover of the engine and empty the engine oil. In the case of the
Timing Belt (BPY) engine, unscrew intercooler lower connector pipe, unscrew bolts that hold bracket and EVAP hose to oil pan and remove turbocharger oil return line. The second step is to loosen the transaxle-oil pan bolts, so far in the reverse order the oil pan and gasket are installed. Unscrew and remove the oil pan bolts then the oil pan itself and the gasket, tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,tap,t In timing chain engines, (CCTA, CBFA) engines, pull off the lower oil pan with its fasteners and the oil pan then continue and pull off the air charge pipe and lower air charge hose. Once the lower oil pan is cleared, disassemble the transaxle, the
Oil Pump and disassemble the lower timing chain cover-to-oil pan bolts. Install a special tool by clamping on the oil pump drive chain tensioner and then undo the oil pan bolts in reverse sequence and remove the oil pan and gasket and you may need to tap the reverse side. To install, remove old sealant in block and oil pan, and oil pan flange, clean surfaces of the mating parts, and examine the oil pan flange. Sealant: Place a bead of RTV sealant on the flange of the oil pan, and place the oil pan over the engine block and install the bolts, hand tighten and to the recommended torque. Do the same with the upper oil pan and make sure to apply sealant and fit bolts in the right positions. Last but not least, the rest of installation is the opposite of removal, which is to follow the sealant drying time and apply oil, and to test the engine to examine the oil pressure and leaks.
