We remove the oil pan to replace the gasket, oil pump or crankshaft.
To complete the work you will need torque wrench.
Removal
1. Place the vehicle on an inspection pit or overpass (see "Preparing a car for maintenance and repair").
2. Remove the mudguard (see "Mudguard - Removal and Installation").
3. Drain the oil from the engine crankcase (see "Engine Oil - Checking Level and Replacement").
4. Unscrew the nuts of the lower fastening of the front supports of the power unit to the crossmember (see "Powertrain Mounts - Replacement").
5. Using a jack installed under the clutch housing, lift the power unit through the spacer and remove the support pins from the cross member. Hang the power unit on a wooden beam, placing it on the front fenders of the car.
6. With a socket wrench by 10 mm using an extension, unscrew the nineteen bolts securing the oil pan.
7. Remove the pan and sealing gasket. If there are traces of the gasket left on the surfaces of the pan or block, remove them with a knife or other suitable tool.
Installation
1. Wash the inner surface of the oil pan with kerosene.
2. Installation of all removed parts is carried out in the reverse order, while replacing the pan gasket with a new one.
3. Tighten the oil pan mounting bolts evenly to the torque specified in the appendices (see "Applications"), without applying much force to avoid deformation of the pallet flange.
4. Fill the engine with oil (see "Engine Oil - Checking Level and Replacement").
