Ford 1L5Z-6675-AA Upper Oil Pan

In hopes of taking out the oil pan, it is necessary to lift the engine of the car. Start by wiping out the oil and also taking out the oil filer. Next, also, you should disengage the engine and place it upon an appropriate engine stand, with the right side up. Then remove the oil pan mounting bolts ,then drop the pan. Installation begins with cleaning of the oil pan and assessing wether or not the has been any damage and the removal of spacers from the mounting pad transmission. Cleaning the gasket surfaces on the cylinder block and oil pan flange will prevent oil leaks and one should clean also the oil pump pick-up tube screen. Apply RTV sealant at six points: at the joints of the front cover and engine block and rear main bearing cap and engine block, then fit the gasket into the oil pan channel. Position the oil pan on the engine and loosely fasten the mounting bolts so that when gaging the engine and the transmission to form an accurate alignment, the final torque adjustments will be done. Place back the engine and finally fasten the two oil pan to transmission bolts to the right torque then loosening them a half turn. After that, use a wrench to further tighten the oil pan to the engine block bolts to the required torque upsetting each bolt in succession around the periphery of the pan. Tighten the oil pan to transmission bolts to the required torque. Last, perform the reversal procedure of the installation and add the required amount and type of oil into the engine.
