2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Oil Pan Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the oil pan on 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: Before servicing the Oil Pan begin by removing the throttle body air inlet duct and engine mount struts from the engine. Next, remove the Drive Belt. The service requires engine support adapters (J 28467-90A), universal engine support fixture (J 28467-B) and engine support adapter leg set (J 36462-A) for installation on the engine without lifting it from its position. Start by first elevating and stabilizing the vehicle before cutting the three-way catalytic converter pipe loose from the right Exhaust Manifold. First remove the wheel and tire from the vehicle's right front position before removing the right engine splash shield. Remove the vehicle's Oil Filter while draining the engine oil. To proceed with work engage in unfastening the bolts on the ac compressor bracket while moving the ac compressor into position afterwards you should disconnect the power steering oil cooler pipe brackets from the frame. Following the engine mount bracket bolts the technician should remove lower engine mount nuts before accessing the torque converter cover. Disconnect both wires in the oil level sensor harness then take out the sensor from the engine's Oil Pan. Place the vehicle on the universal engine support fixture (J 28467-B) then use the fixture to raise the engine for appropriate access. After supporting the frame base loosen the left frame bolts followed by removing the right frame bolts while lowering the entire frame. First remove the engine mount and engine mount bracket followed by removing all bolts from the Oil Pan before extracting it from the engine. After removing the oil pump pipe and screen assembly and Oil Pan Gasket separate the components and thoroughly clean the Oil Pan flanges and Oil Pan rail and front cover and rear main bearing cap and threaded holes. Begin installation by placing the Oil Pan Gasket and attaching the oil pump pipe and screen assembly while tightening the bolts to 15 nm (11 ft. Lbs.). Begin Oil Pan assembly with installation of the Oil Pan but cleanly prepare the bolts before applying a thread lock compound gm p/n 12345382 or equivalent product to each bolt thread. Tighten the Oil Pan bolts to 14 nm (10 ft. Lbs.). Place the engine mount bracket together with the mount on the desired position before installing the bracket bolts. Replace right side frame bolts before supporting the frame properly then add left side frame bolts. The universal engine support fixture (J 28467-B) lowers the engine after the vehicle reaches its lower position. Pivot the vehicle once more into position then bolt the lower engine mount studs before tightening them to 47 nm force (35 ft. Lbs. Torque). Steal the oil level indicator sensor while tightening it until it reaches 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.) span and join the oil level sensor wiring harness connector. First put on the torque converter cover while you attach power steering oil cooler pipe brackets to the frame and install ac compressor bracket bolts. Place a new Oil Filter while installing the Oil Pan Drain Plug (tighten to 30 Nm (22 ft. Lbs.)) alongside the right engine splash shield and right front tire and wheel. After joining the right Exhaust Manifold to the three-way catalytic converter pipe lower the vehicle and remove engine support fixture (J 28467-B), engine support adapter leg set (J 36462-A), and engine support adapters (J 28467-90A). Install the Drive Belt then add the engine mount struts before installing the throttle body air inlet duct. Finish the procedure by adding new engine oil and inspecting for fluid levels and leaks alongside wheel alignment measurement.
