GM 12601240 Pan,Oil

On 2008 and later 2.0L turbocharged engines, the engine must be raised enough to provide clearance to remove the oil pan. An engine support fixture or other safe engine lifting device must be used. Additionally, the passenger-side engine mount must be removed. Drain the engine oil and remove the drivebelt. Loosen the right-front wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the right front wheel. Remove the splash shield from below the right side of the engine compartment. Remove the lower air conditioning compressor mounting bolt. Loosen, but don't remove, the other compressor mounting bolts. Remove the dipstick and the dipstick tube (the tube is bolted to the intake manifold). On 2.0L supercharged engines, remove the intercooler pump bracket bolt at the oil pan. Remove the oil pan bolts. Follow the reverse of the tightening sequence. Carefully remove the oil pan from the lower crankcase. If the oil pan is difficult to separate from the lower crankcase, use a rubber mallet or a block of wood and a hammer to jar it loose. If it's stubborn and still won't come off, pry carefully on casting protrusions (not the mating surfaces!). Installation: Using a gasket scraper, thoroughly clean all old gasket material from the lower crankcase and oil pan. Remove residue and oil film with a solvent such as acetone or lacquer thinner. Apply a 2 mm bead of RTV sealant to the perimeter of the oil pan, inboard of the bolt holes, and around the oil suction port. Allow the sealant to set-up before installing the oil pan to the engine (but be sure to install the pan within the time given by the sealant manufacturer). Install the oil pan and bolts. Follow the correct torque sequence and lighten the bolts to the torque. The remaining installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to lighten the wheel lug nuts to the torque. Refill the engine with oil and install a new oil filter, then run the engine and check for leaks.

To remove the oil pan it is necessary to detach the cable from the negative terminal of the battery and use the fixture for the engine and the jack - stands to lift the car. Withdraw the engine oil and remove the oil filter, and also pull the transaxle brace out from the oil pan. After that, take out the starter bolts and the air conditioning compressor and place the later beside. In case there is an AWD vehicle, this requires elimination of the transfer case; for FWD car, eliminate the driveaxle together with the intermediate shaft. It is helpful to use the engine support fixture to take some of the weight off of the engine mounts and then remove one of the front engine mounts and lift the engine as necessary. Take off the RH rear oil pan to transaxle bolt, then remove the oil pan side bolts and the vertical mounting bolts. Take special caution when removing the oil pan from the block; use gentle force as possible taking the use of a soft-face hammer while striking lightly on the surfaces that are adjacent to the sealing areas. For refitting remove the pan and wipe the exterior and interior with a clean cloth and, using a scraper, remove all residual sealant and gasket material from the mating gasket surfaces; apply RTV sealant to the required joints and slip on the new oil pan gasket. Place the oil pan onto the block and fit the upper nuts/bolts Or thread the bolt into the hole first and then put the nut next to it before tightening all to the torque mentioned above and this should be done in a criss-cross manner, three times. Once the pan-to-block bolts are engaged tighten the oil pan side bolts together with the oil pan to transaxle brace. The following is a step by step process of conducting the remove and reinstall procedure of the vehicle engine: Reversing the removal process, add the necessary oil to the engine, start the vehicle to reach normal operational temperature as well as checking for any signs of leakage.

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.

Installation: Using a gasket scraper, thoroughly clean all old gasket material from the lower crankcase and oil pan. Remove residue and oil film with a solvent such as acetone or lacquer thinner. Apply a 2 mm bead of RTV sealant to the perimeter of the oil pan, inboard of the bolt holes, and around the oil suction port. Allow the sealant to set-up before installing the oil pan to the engine (but be sure to install the pan within the time given by the sealant manufacturer). Install the oil pan and bolts.

Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. If working on a 3.5L engine, install an engine support fixture, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Drain the engine oil and remove the starter. Remove the air conditioning compressor mounting bolts and position it to the side. For 3.9L engines, disconnect the oil level sensor wiring. Remove all transaxle braces from the oil pan and then the oil pan mounting bolts. For 3.5L V6 models, remove the oil filter and its adapter, take the weight off the engine mounts using the engine support fixture, and remove the engine mount bracket from the front passenger side of the engine. Remove the torque converter bolts, ground wires, and wiring brackets from the transaxle. Loosen all transaxle-to-engine bolts a few turns without removing them, then raise the engine/transaxle assembly slightly. Remove the oil pan mounting bolts and pull the engine about 1/2-inch away from the transaxle to allow the oil pan to clear the protruding boss on the transaxle. Carefully separate the oil pan from the block without prying between the block and the pan to avoid damaging the sealing surfaces. Clean the pan with solvent, removing all old sealant and gasket material from the block and pan mating surfaces, and ensure the bolt holes in the block are clear. Apply a bead of RTV sealant to the front of the gasket and each side of the rear main cap, then install the new one-piece oil pan gasket. Place the oil pan in position on the block and install the nuts/bolts, tightening them to the specified torque starting at the center. After tightening the pan-to-block bolts, install the oil pan side bolts and tighten them to torque. For 2007 and later 3.5L models, re-join the engine and transaxle, tightening the bolts to torque, and install the flywheel/drive plate-to-torque converter bolts. Install the oil pan-to-transaxle brace and torque the bolts to specifications. For 3.9L V6 engines, install the transaxle brace and tighten the bolts to torque. The remaining steps are the reverse of the removal procedure, tightening the subframe bolts to torque. Refill the engine with oil, run it until normal operating temperature is reached, and check for leaks.

Refill the engine with oil and install a new oil filter, then run the engine and check for leaks.

Before getting at the oil pan, turn off the engine by removing the negative cable from the battery, drain the oil and take out the oil filter. Lift the car and put on jackstands and then unbolt the transaxle bellhousing brace bolts at the oil pan and the mounting bolts of the oil pan. Take extra care to remove the oil pan from the block by prying it away between the oil pan and the engine block surfaces, apart from the pry points to avoid bending or cracking or both, which may or may not lead to an oil leak; if you have to force the removal of the oil pan, then use a large rubber mallet or a block of wood accompanied by a hammer to apply enough force to free the part. For installation, use a gasket scraper or putty knife to remove all old gasket material, seal, from both pan and engine block then, before installing, clean both surfaces together with the mating surface of the engine block with lacquer thinner or acetone; the bolt holes in the engine block should be clean. On the engine block reinforcement, there are specific holes that must be aligned with special alignment dowels before fitting the oil pan. Use a 2 mm bead of RTV sealant to the flange of the oil pan, in a 3 mm bead line around and a little at from front and rear seams where the Oil pump and rear seal retainer meets the engine block. Place the oil pan on the engine block, fit the front bracket assembly and fasten the bolts loosely so that they can only be tightened with fingers, do the same for the bellhousing brace/oil pan bolts. In this step, the oil pan bolts need to be coated with thread locking compound before installing them and then using a deep socket to remove the alignment dowels; then, tighten the bolt to the required torque, in a star form from the center of the oil pan. The following steps include repairing the steps of taking out the oil, the installing of a new oil filler, refilling the crankcase with oil, reconnecting the battery and at last starting the engine, checking for oil leaks at the oil pan, repeating the check after a road test.

The right engine mount and the secondary air injection pump mounting bolts should be removed, then the pump should be separated from the side of the oil pan and secured out of the way.

Apply a 3 mm wide bead of oxygen sensor-safe RTV sealant to the oil pan mating face with the engine block and to the corners where the front and rear covers meet the block.

The remainder of the installation is the reverse of removal, including installing a new oil filter and adding the proper type and quantity of oil before starting the engine and checking for leaks.

The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal, ensuring to tighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified torque.

Drain the engine oil and remove the oil filter.

Clean the mounting surfaces of the oil pan and engine block, check the oil pump pickup for damage, and ensure a new oil seal is installed.

The first step is to drain the engine oil and take off the drivebelt.

Install the oil pan and bolts, tightening them in the correct sequence to the specified torque.
