How to replace a Buick Chevrolet Oldsmobile Pontiac Oil Pan Gasket?
1.Secure Vehicle
Raise the vehicle. Using a floor jack with the correct lifting capacity for your vehicle, raise the vehicle using the appropriate lifting points. Jack stand placement. Place the jack stands at the appropriate points to support the vehicle in the lowest setting possible for safety and stability. Slowly lower the vehicle onto the jack stands. Once lowered, leave the jack in place for safety.
2.Drain the Oil
Remove the oil filter. With the drain pan in place to catch the oil, use the oil filter wrench to remove the oil filter. Remove the drain plug. Once the oil filter is removed, move the drain pan underneath the oil pan. Remove the oil drain plug and allow several minutes for the oil to drain into the pan. Dispose of the oil and filter properly.
3.Oil Pan Removal
Select the appropriate socket and ratchet. Use an extension if needed. remove the oil pan bolts, leaving one at each corner loosely in place. Sometimes the pan will just fall loose. Others, you may need to gently tap or pry the pan away from the engine block.
Once the pan is loosened, remove the 4 remaining oil pan bolts. Remove the pan carefully as to not damage the oil pick up located within the oil pan. Clean up. Using a cleaner/degreaser, clean the area on the lower engine block where the oil pan attaches. Also, clean the oil pan inside and out.
4.Gasket Installation
Remove the old gasket material. Using the scraper, gently remove any gasket material on the oil pan as well as the engine block mounting surface. Wipe both the pan and engine mounting surfaces clean and let dry.
Install the pan gasket. Following the directions on the rtv package, apply a thin film of rtv to the oil pan mounting surface. Allow the rtv to set up for a few minutes. Once the rtv has set, apply the pan gasket to the surface, applying even pressure all around. Install the pan.
Insert all the oil pan bolts hand tight to start. To avoid distorting the oil pan and future leaks, torque the oil pan bolts to manufacturer’s specifications. If you do not have a repair manual for your vehicle, your local auto parts store should be able to provide the specifications for you.
5.Refill the Oil Pan
Add engine oil. Reinstall the oil pan drain plug and new oil filter. Fill the engine with the recommended oil. Check for any obvious leaks before lowering the vehicle. Check for leaks. Remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle. Start the vehicle and let it run for a minute or so.
Turn the engine off. Wait a few minutes and check the oil level. Top off if needed. Once checked, start the vehicle and let it warm up at idle. Check for any leaks after warmed up and again after the vehicle has been driven.
