Oil Pan, Engine

NOTE: If the oil pan is not secured within 4 minutes of sealant application, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

NOTE: The oil pan must be installed and the bolts tightened within 4 minutes of applying the silicone gasket and sealant.
