Start by taking out both the oil pump pipe with screen and the Oil Pan Gasket. After surface cleaning the cylinder block mating areas inspect the entire Oil Pan before installation. Make certain to start your installation sequence by positioning the Oil Pan Gasket followed by the oil pump pipe with screen afterward you add the Oil Pan. Use gm p/n 12345382 by dropping one drop on every Oil Pan bolt before installation since you should tighten them to 14 nm (124 inch lbs.). The installation process starts with new Oil Filter attachment followed by torque converter cover replacement then oil level switch connection and a vehicle lower to finish off with a proper engine oil refill.
