2005 Chevrolet Venture Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the oil pan on 2005 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: The Oil Pan replacement process requires starting with negative Battery Cable disarmament followed by removing the right engine mount strut from the engine location. Use engine support fixture (J38606-B) to install it on the engine then elevate and support the car. First remove A/C Compressor bolts to move the compressor out of the way then disconnect the Catalytic Converter from the Exhaust Manifold and remove the frame. The Starter motor removal requires the engine oil draining along with disconnecting the oil level sensor electrical connection before starting work. To access the Oil Pan customers need to remove transfer case and transaxle braces except when awd is present. For transmission access installation begin at one end of the utility strap through the transmission and continue by wrapping it around the transfer case when awd is present or the transmission case extension housing when fwd is the system configuration. To proceed with Oil Pan replacement begin by removing the lower support bar (J 45057-2) and engine mount with engine mount bracket from the Oil Pan. Use the torque wrench adapter (J 39505) on the engine right side Oil Pan side bolts until they reach removal torque values before you remove the Oil Pan together with its gasket for cleaning of both pan surfaces. The transaxle brace must remain in position before you install the Oil Pan Gasket and Oil Pan. The torque wrench adapter (J 39505) must be used to install the engine right side Oil Pan side bolts before installing the transaxle brace together with the engine mount with engine mount bracket and lower support bar (J 45057-2). After removing the utility strap you should install the transfer case brace if awd and then install the Starter motor. Begin by connecting the oil level sensor electrical connector then install the frame before connecting the Exhaust Manifold to the Catalytic Converter and finishing with the A/C Compressor installation. Start with low vehicle position then take off the engine support fixture (J38606-B) before adding the right engine mount strut and engine oil filling and battery negative cable connection.
