Installation
1. 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 all traces of old sealant.
Inspect the oil pan. Clean the mating surface of the oil pan with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging.
2. NOTE: If not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
Apply silicone gasket and sealant at the crankshaft rear seal retainer plate-to-cylinder block sealing surface.
3. NOTE: If not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
Apply silicone gasket and sealant at the engine front cover-to-cylinder block sealing surface.
4. Install the new oil pan gasket and the oil pan and loosely install the 16 bolts.
5. Tighten the bolts in 3 stages, in the sequence shown.
^ Stage 1: Tighten to 2 Nm (18 lb-in).

6. Attach the 2 pin-type retainers.
7. Using the adjustable jackstand, raise the subframe.
8. NOTE: Do not tighten the subframe nuts and bolts at this time.
Install the 4 subframe nuts and 4 subframe bolts.
9. Align the subframe nuts and bolts with the reference marks made during removal.
^ Tighten nuts to 115 Nm (85 lb-ft).
^ Tighten bolts to 115 Nm (85 lb-ft).
