Tahoe 4WD V8-393 6.5L DSL Turbo VIN S (1995)
Oil Pan: Service and Repair
1. Disconnect negative battery cable, then raise and support vehicle.
2. Drain engine oil, then remove transmission or flywheel dust cover.
3. Remove exhaust pipes from manifold, then the front engine mounting through bolts.
4. Carefully raise and support engine. When raising or supporting the engine for any reason, do not use a jack under the oil pan, any sheet metal or
crankshaft pulley. Due to the small clearance between the oil pan and oil pump screen, jacking against the oil pan may cause it to be bent against
the pump screen, resulting in a damaged oil pickup unit.
5. Remove oil pan attaching bolts, then the oil pan.
6. Reverse procedure to install noting the following:
a. When applying RTV sealant, or equivalent, to the oil pan sealing surfaces, coat the area inboard of the bolt holes and ensure that the sealer is
wet to the touch when the oil pan is installed.
b. Apply a 3/32 inch bead of RTV sealant and tighten bolts to specifications.
