Oil Pan

You need to drain the engine oil before starting the right engine mount bracket replacement process. The procedure requires users to first disconnect the electrical connector from the engine oil level sensor while removing the sensor from its position on the Oil Pan. So you must start by taking out the torque converter cover and then move on to the Oil Pan bolts until you can remove the Oil Pan. Separate the Oil Pan Gasket from the screen and oil pump pipe. Then extract the Oil Pan. The mating surfaces of the cylinder block need cleaning while checking the overall condition of the Oil Pan. Begin by installing the Oil Pan Gasket and afterward install the oil pump pipe and screen before fitting the Oil Pan. Place one drop of gm p/n 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489) on each bolt before tightening them to 14 nm (124 inch lbs.). After reinstalling the torque converter cover proceed to install the engine oil level sensor into the Oil Pan while tightening it to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). Connect the electrical line to the engine oil sensor port before replacing the right mount bracket and filling the engine oil reservoir and inspecting for leaks when starting up the engine.

Draining engine oil and removing the right engine mount bracket are the first steps to replace the Oil Pan. Begin by disconnecting the electrical connector from the engine oil level sensor before removing it from the Oil Pan. First remove the torque converter cover before loosening all the Oil Pan bolts to extract the Oil Pan. The technician should remove the oil pump pipe alongside the screen and the Oil Pan Gasket. Mating surfaces of the cylinder block need cleaning followed by an inspection of the Oil Pan. Begin your installation by setting the new Oil Pan Gasket followed by installation of the oil pump pipe and screen. Each Oil Pan bolt receives a single gm p/n 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489) drop before the bolts get tightened to 14 nm (124 inch lbs.). Install the torque converter cover first before putting the engine oil level sensor into the Oil Pan while torquing it to reach 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). Install the right engine mount bracket after connecting the electrical connector to the engine oil level sensor. Fill the engine oil and inspect the vehicle for any fluid leaks when you begin the engine operation.

Reattach the torque converter cover.

The oil pump pipe and screen, and the oil pan gasket.

Clean the mating surfaces of the oil pan and cylinder block.

Lower the vehicle and refill the engine oil.
