Oil Pan

Starting with Battery Cable disconnection and engine mount strut removal from the engine completes the sequence for Oil Pan replacement. Install the engine support fixture (J32594-B) then use it to safely lift and support the vehicle. First remove A/C Compressor mounting bolts and set the compressor aside while also separating the catalytic converter pipe from the engine right side Exhaust Manifold. Start by draining engine oil before taking out the frame assembly and oil level sensor wiring harness connection as well as the Starter motor. Detach the transaxle brace from its position on the Oil Pan and remove both the engine mount bracket and engine mount which operates from the Oil Pan. Install the torque wrench adapter (J39505) to remove all engine right side Oil Pan side bolts before removing the pan and the gasket. Prepare the gasket surface of both components by cleaning before you put the Oil Pan Gasket together with the Oil Pan. Start the installation process by attaching the engine mount bracket to the Oil Pan together with the engine mount afterward secure both the transaxle brace and Starter motor before connecting the oil level sensor electrical connector. Reinstall the frame assembly while you connect the catalytic converter pipe to the engine right side Exhaust Manifold and install the A/C Compressor. Underneath the vehicle lower the system to proceed with removing the engine support fixture (J32594-B) followed by strut mount installation onto the engine block beforeadding engine oil and completing with body ground cable attachment.

In order to change the Oil Pan, disconnect the battery ground (negative) cable and remove the engine mount struts from the engine. Install the engine support fixture (J34223-B) and lift and support the vehicle. First, disconnect the catalytic converter pipe from the right side of the engine Exhaust Manifold, followed by removal of the A/C Compressor mounting bolts as well as placing the compressor on the side. Drain out the engine oil before removing the frame assembly and the oil level sensor wiring harness connection and the Starter motor. Then remove transaxle brace from Oil Pan and engine mount bracket with the engine mount from the Oil Pan. Take the torque wrench adapter (J 39505) and remove the engine right side Oil Pan side bolts and then remove the Oil Pan and the Oil Pan Gasket. Disassemble the Oil Pan and the engine block and clean the gasket surface before reassembling. Mount the engine mount bracket with the engine mount to the Oil Pan and then transaxle brace, starter motor, and oil level sensor electrical connector. Reinstall the frame assembly, join the catalytic converter pipe to the right side Exhaust Manifold of the engine and install A/C Compressor. Lower the vehicle, remove the engine support fixture (J34223-B), install the engine mount struts into the engine, put oil in the engine, and finally connect the battery ground (negative) cable.

Use the Torque Wrench Adapter (J39505) to remove the right oil pan side bolts, then remove the left oil pan side bolts and the oil pan retaining bolts before taking off the oil pan and gasket.

Reinstall the frame.
