• Q: How to replace the oil pan on 2006 Chevrolet HHR?

  A: Starting with vehicle elevation and support one needs to replace the Oil Pan. Place a drain pan positioned below the Oil Pan Drain Plug then take out the plug to empty the engine oil. Odemove the engine Drive Belt then remove the lower ac compressor bolt followed by the Oil Pan bolt removal. Carefully take off the Oil Pan while also removing all old Oil Pan sealing material. Before installing the Oil Pan assure its sealing surface and lower crankcase area show no sign of oil or debris. Sealant gm pn 12346286 (Canadian PN 10953472) or an equivalent product should be applied as a 2 mm bead along both sides of the Oil Pan and the oil suction port during installation but avoid spreading the material excessively. Place the Oil Pan on the engine block with all the Oil Pan bolts in position then tighten each bolt to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Reinstall the lower ac compressor bolt before you reinstall the engine Drive Belt then lower the vehicle until it reaches the ground while filling the engine oil to its correct level.
