Oil Pan: Testing and Inspection
CLEANING
CAUTION: Do not damage the low oil level sensor (if equipped) when cleaning the oil pan.
Scrape any dirt or metal particles from the inside of the oil pan. Scrape all old gasket material from the gasket surface. Wash the oil pan in a solvent
and dry it thoroughly. Make sure all foreign particles are removed.
INSPECTION
Check the oil pan for cracks, holes or damaged drain plug threads. Check the gasket surface for damage caused by over-tightened bolts. Replace with
a new oil pan if service cannot be made.
