Installation
1. NOTICE: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools
cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove traces of sealant.
Clean and inspect all mating surfaces.
2. NOTE: If the oil pan is not secured within 4 minutes of sealant application, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal
surface prep. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil
leakage.
Apply a 2.5 mm (0.09 in) bead of silicone gasket and sealant to the oil pan.
3. Position the oil pan and install the 2 rear oil pan bolts finger-tight.
4. Using a suitable straightedge, align the front surface of the oil pan flush with the front surface of the engine block.
