MODELS AFFECTED:

This bulletin supersedes T-92-65 which should be discarded. This bulletin is being revised to add a "T" operation for grinding the oil pan to provide
proper clearance on assembly.
When removing the oil pan on 4.9L engines, the edge of the oil pan gasket surface may bind against the transaxle housing near the engine flywheel. If a
binding condition exists,it is necessary to loosen the oil pump mounting flange and screws (2) from engine to block to allow for unrestricted oil pan
removal.
NOTE:
Prying on the oil pan can damage the oil pump housing at the mounting flanges.
The following procedure should be used when removing the engine oil pan. This procedure supersedes the steps listed in the applicable Service
Information Manuals.
1.
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2.
Raise car.
3.
Remove oil drain plug and drain oil.
4.
Remove two plastic flywheel covers. Refer to Figure 1.
