INSTALLATION
 
 
1. Install oil cooler if removed. Refer to Removal and Installation.
cautionDo not reuse O-ring.
2. Install oil pan (upper) with the following procedure:
(1) Use a scraper (A) to remove old liquid gasket from mating surfaces.
  • Also remove the old liquid gasket from mating surface of cylinder block.
  • Remove old liquid gasket from the bolt holes and threads.
cautionNever scratch or damage the mating surfaces when cleaning off old liquid gasket.
(2) Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with a tube presser (commercial service tool) as shown in the figure.
: Oil pan (upper)
B : 5.5 - 7.5mm (0.216 - 0.295 in)
D : φ 3.4 - 4.4 mm (0.134 - 0.197 in)
: Engine outside
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or an equivalent. Refer to Recommended Chemical Products and SealantsRecommended Chemical Products and Sealants.
caution
  • Apply liquid gasket to outside of bolt hole for the positions shown by "" marks.
  • Attaching should be done within 5 minutes after liquid gasket application.
  • Do not re-tighten bolts after the 5 minutes have elapsed.
  • Then allow 30 minutes for the liquid gasket to set before adding oil to the engine.
(3) Install new O-rings at oil pan (upper) side.
caution
  • Do not reuse O-rings.
  • Install avoiding misalignment of O-ring.
(4) Tighten bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure.
noteRefer to the following for locating bolts.
Oil pan (upper) boltsNo. 18, 19: 8.8 N·m (0.90 kg-m, 78 in-lb)
Except No. 18, 19: 21.6 N·m (2.2 kg-m, 16 ft-lb)
3. Install the rear plate cover.
4. Install support bearing bracket to oil pan (upper).
5. Install rear torque rod to rear torque rod bracket.
6. Install water hose A and water hose B from oil cooler.
7. Install the engine oil pressure control solenoid valve and tighten bolts to the specified torque in the sequence shown.
Bolts: 9.0 N·m (0.92 kg-m, 80 in-lb)
caution
  • Do not reuse O-rings.
  • Ensure engine oil pressure control solenoid valve O-ring sealing surface is free from dents or flaws.
  • Apply clean engine oil to O-rings.
  • Ensure engine oil pressure control solenoid valve harness is pushed to baffle side to avoid interference with upper oil pan and oil strainer.
8. Install the oil strainer and tighten bolts to the specified torque in the sequence shown.
cautionDo not reuse O-ring.
Bolts: 9.0 N·m (0.92 kg-m, 80 in-lb)
9. Install oil pan (lower). Refer to Removal and Installation.
10. Install drain plug.
  • Refer to the figure of components of former page for installation direction of washer. Refer to Exploded View.
11. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.
notePour engine oil at least 30 minutes after oil pan is installed.
