• Q: How to replace the oil pan on 2004 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: Here is how you should replace the Oil Pan of your motor vehicle: first you must disconnect the negative Battery Cable and remove the right front wheel and splash shield. Drain out the engine oil from the crankcase and then remove the heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S). Remove the nuts that connect the catalytic lower flange to the Exhaust Manifold and the bracket's bolts, and nuts connecting the front pipe. Removing the Catalytic Converter and Exhaust Pipe as one unit, then removing bolts that hold the Oil Pan to the transaxle housing and the bolt holding the transaxle housing to the Oil Pan. Remove the grommet and the Oil Pan retaining bolts, then you will need to remove the Oil Pan from the engine block and remove the gasket. For the installation, mount the gasket on the Oil Pan and install it within 5 minutes after applying the liquid gasket. Assemble the Oil Pan to the engine block and screw in Oil Pan retaining bolts tight at 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). Put the grommet and the bolt that secures the transaxle housing to the Oil Pan. Tighten the bolt to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.), then continue to do the bolts to secure the Oil Pan to the transaxle housing, which must be tightened to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Put back on the catalytic converters and Exhaust Pipe as a whole and tighten the nuts securing the catalytic to the Exhaust Manifold with 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.), exhaust pipe bracket bolts with 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) and front muffler nuts with 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Connect the ho2s, replace the right front splash shield and wheel, and connect the negative Battery Cable, and fill the engine crankcase with engine oil.
