Remove the oil pan as follows, disconnect the bady cable from the car's negative terminal, and then lift the car and keep it on stands. Remove the engine oil and replace the oil drain plug, be sure to tighten it to the proper torque and use a new gasket if one is provided. Second, the oil filter has to be then taken off and the oxygen sensor connector(s) must be disconnected. Continue to the floor and delete the crossover and flexible exhaust pipe and converter assembly from the car, then, the driveplate access cover. The bolts that hold the oil pan to the transaxle has to be unscrewed to remove the oil pan and also some of the fasteners must also be removed in order to locate some of the stud bolts. Remove the oil pan gasket and, if necessary, remove the fasteners which secure the oil screen and pick-up tube; then, remove the screen and tube. Scrub the oil pan and cylinder block mating surfaces to remove the gasket material well with lacquer thinner or acetone as required. For installation, if removed, replace the O-ring seal of the oil pick-up tube, then replace the tube and screen assembly and torque the retaining fasteners to the prescribed level and replace the self-locking nut for the pick-up tube support bracket. Replace oil pan gasket and spread a 1/8 inch bead of RTV sealant around the engine front cover-to cylinder block parting line. With proper care beef up the oil pan without removing the gasket, then torque the pan bolts along with stud bolts; the noted places are only for stud bolts. Starting from the oil pan-to-transaxle bolts, engage the oil pan against the transaxle; thereafter, loosely tighten the bolts that are concerned with the transaxle before going ahead to tighten the oil pan bolt uniformly to the required torque. Lastly, reverse the procedures mentioned under removal by reinstalling them in their proper places, and tightening all bolts/screws to the right torque values; in the event that self-locking nuts were interfered with in the removal process, ensure you replace them before finalising the sequence.
