^
Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown to 10 Nm (1.0 kgf-m, 89 inch lbs.).
Caution:
^
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.
3. Clean and inspect all mating surfaces.
Note:
^
If the oil pan is not secured within four minutes of sealant application, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal
surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause
future oil leakage.
Note:
^
The oil pan must be installed and the bolts tightened within four minutes of applying the silicone gasket and sealant.
4. Apply a 2.5 mm bead of silicone gasket and sealant to the oil pan. Install the oil pan. Install the two oil pan bolts finger-tight.
5. Install the bolts.
