Oil Pan Installation

Oil Pan Installation
1. Remove all of the old liquid gasket from the oil pan mating surfaces, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Clean and dry the oil pan mating surfaces.
3. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0002, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the engine block mating surface of the oil pan.

NOTE: Do not install components if too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket (for P/N 08718-0002, no more than 4 minutes, for all others, no more than 5 minutes). Instead, remove the old residue and reapply the liquid gasket.





4. Install the oil pan.
5. Tighten the bolts/nuts in two or three steps. In the final step, tighten all bolts, in sequence, to 12 Nm (1.2 kgf-m, 8.7 lbf-ft).





6. M/T model: Install the stiffener.





7. If the engine is still in the vehicle, install the subframe.
1 Support the subframe with the special tool and a jack, and lift it up to body, then loosely install the new subframe mounting bolts.
2 Align the reference marks with the center of the subframe mounting bolts, then tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
3 A/T model: Install the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) filter mounting bolt.
4 Tighten the rear mount mounting bolts.
5 Tighten the front mount mounting bolt.
6 Connect the suspension lower arm ball joints.
