  Q: How to replace the transmission pan on Buick Park Avenue?

  A: A professional must begin Oil Pan replacement by raising and supporting the vehicle. Put the drain pan underneath the transaxle Oil Pan while being careful not to harm the leak-proof surfaces of the Oil Pan when eliminating its bolts because damage could initiate oil leakage. Start by removing all Oil Pan bolts from the front and sides before applying loose rotation to the rear bolts with about four turns. Use a rubber mallet to tap the Oil Pan while draining the fluid or use a suitable prying tool while inspecting the fluid's color. Take off the Oil Pan by doing away with the remaining bolts following an oil drain process and removing the gasket. Reusing Oil Pan gaskets depends on how much damage exists on the sealing surface because you should apply the Oil Pan alongside the gasket during installation. Secure the Oil Pan bolts with torque set at 14 nm equivalent to 10 foot-pounds. The first fluid addition should be limited to the cold fluid level reading while using dexron iii fluid or its equivalent to fill the transaxle until the proper level is reached. Check for any leaks that may appear on the Oil Pan Gasket during the final inspection step.
