Chevrolet 12676340 Pan, Lower Oil

Lift the front of the vehicle as far as possible using the jack and secure it on jack stands; then dispense with the engine oil. The front exhaust pipe must be removed from the exhaust manifold while for the 2.0L and 2.5L engines, the rear exhaust system must be disconnected in order to remove the front exhaust pipe. Tighten the oil pan bolts to the torque specified in the workshop manual or until you sight tightened them; however, the bolt heads must be loosened gradually in a rotary fashion and be careful not to strip them, more so, on 1.5L engines the Lloyd will require a new lower oil pan since the one used to have a tendency to leak oil. Taking a lot of precaution slowly separate the lower oil pan from the upper oil pan. Remove all moulds of a gasket from the upper oil pan and the lower oil pan of 2.0L and 2.5 L models using a qualified gasket scraper and solvent as appropriate. Spread a portion of sealant around the circumferential edges on the lower oil pan area within the installation period of 10 minutes and the final torque should be effected within 60 minutes at most. Insert the oil pan and bolts at the initial stage, and use hand power to tighten the bolts which should be tightened according to an engine type in a fixed pattern. The rest of the installation is done practically in the reverse order of the bare metal method's removal process. Add fresh oil into the engine and put a new oil filter before starting the engine and inspect if there is any leakage. For 2.0L and 2.5L engines, place the jack beneath the engine in order to hold the engine up, after that unfasten the front exhaust pipe, then remove the timing chain cover, and, finally, disconnect the electrical connection to the oil flow control valve solenoid. Disconnect the compressor from the vehicle without unbending the refrigerant, then next you should unscrew the bolts and the bracket of the compressor. Another operation to be performed is the removal of the transmission rear mount-to-transmission through-bolt and bolts with new ones upon their absence. Inunder cut through the nuts securing the catalytic converter support bracket and the bracket itself as well as the right-side drive axle support bearing bolt. Take off the oil pan to transmission bolts and the upper oil pan bolts as some are long and others short due to position. Twist at certain areas on the upper oil pan then pull away from the engine block if needed, use a rubber mallet to do this. After that, turn the ignition off and, at 1.5L engines, remove the upper oil pan after disconnecting the electrical connector from the oil flow control solenoid, and lower the oil pan. Remove all previous gasket material on the lower crankcase and oil pan before applying sealant, and make sure surface is free of oil. To the upper oil pan, apply a bead of sealant around the perimeter and along the groove which is at the bottom of the timing chain cover for both 2.0L & 2.5L engines. Install the bolts of the oil pan in the proper manner and bolt and tighten the oil pan to transaxle bolts. The rest of the installation is done in the reverse order of their removal and after the refilling engine oil, putting a new oil filter and starting the engine and check for any leaks.

The engine is removed with the removal of the engine, which is done by removing the oil pan, oil pump pickup and baffle, and generally cleaning of the oil pan for new gasket installation. This entails taking out the engine, removing the timing chain cover, and prying off the oil pan at specific points as well as unbolting oil pickup from underneath it taking off #3.The process involves removal of oil filter in addition to installing a new one after tightening all bolts on oil-pan.It's worth noting that this has been made possible through taking away various screws that hold the object firmly to its base and relocating it to another place. The old gasket material is carefully stripped off both the bottom surface of an engine block and top surface of an oil pan by using a lint-free cloth soaked in brake-system cleaner. Any crack or leak on it should also be checked while there must not be any obstruction at its base screen. The bolts that pass through into its bottom from underneath an oil pan should first install a new oil seal onto it before securing it with these bolts. The next thing to do is to install another part called a baffle inside the newly fixed oil-pan and tightly bolted down by eight fasteners; four on each side. Proper alignment can be achieved by creating aligning studs using MB x 1.25 mm bolts placed in assigned holes 1 & 2 for this purpose on this labeled piece of equipment. A thin layer (about 3 mm) of oxygen-sensor-safe RTV sealant should be spread over its upper mating face and at both ends where front and rear covers join an engine block.Consequently,tighten these bolts until they are snug.The aluminum bolt-on part gets attached before installation is finished by replacing old gaskets on top surfaces before tightening them up carefully.Therefore,you should put back in place all screws as their absence may lead to a destruction of the whole structure. To prevent crushing or damaging this component, take the following steps; remove all fasteners and then replace them after the filter has been changed. The remaining installation steps are executed in reverse order before installing a fresh oil filter and adding correct amount and type of oil as well as starting an engine for leaks-checking on it before returning a car into service.
