How to remove and install an engine oil pan in four cylinder engine on Saturn Vue?

Before pulling the engine out, there is an engine support that has to be fitted across the engine bay and this will need to have some of the weight shifted off the right engine mount. Place the vehicle on car jacks so that it is raised well and then remove the engine oil of the vehicle. Next, a right engine mount and its bracket should be detached and the engine should be raised several inches for the oil pan. Lose the lower air conditioning compressor mounting bolt and half tighten the other three compressor mounting bolts without pulling them out. Remove the dipstick and the dipstick tube which is fixed to the intake manifold. Loosen the oil pan bolts in the order of how they were tightened and then gently un bolt the oil pan from the lower crankcase. For installation, remove old gasket deposits from the lower crank case and oil pan using gasket scraper and brake system cleaner with a view of removing the remaining deposits and oil films. Use a 2 mm thickness of the RTV sealant along the circumference of the oil pan, to the inside of the bolt holes' interior and around the oil suction port before fitting of the oil pan is done. Bolt the oil pan and its bolts into a suitable sequence in the right torque for the car model. Reassemble the carrier in the reverse order in which the following components were removed; do not forget to tighten the wheel lug nuts to the correct torque. Last but not the least, put back the oil used earlier, replace the oil filter, let the engine run and then look out for any dripping.

Saturn Vue Oil Pan

The Oil Pan which is used in Saturn Vue vehicles is used to hold the oil that is used by the engine to reduce wear and friction as well as to cool the various parts of the engine. As for the Wet Sump system, the Oil Pan gathers oil sucked by a pickup tube and then supplied by the oil pump to the engine. This design enables the oil to return to the Oil Pan after the oil has gone round lubricating the various parts of the engine. At the earlier years of Saturn Vue Oil Pans, the material used for manufacturing was stamped steel but in the later years, cast aluminum was introduced as it provides more durability and better functioning in many of the models. Due to the Oil Pan's design the positioning of the engine is achieved and there's consideration of oil starvation under kinetic operation.

Each OEM Saturn Vue Oil Pan we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
