Installing

• For the correct tightening specifications, refer to => [ Oil Pan and Oil Pump Overview ] Engine

• Silicon sealant, refer to the Parts Catalog

• Note the expiration date of the silicone sealant.

• The upper oil pan must be installed within 5 minutes after the silicone sealant has been applied.

• Replace the bolts which are being tightened with an additional turn.

• Replace sealing rings, seals and self-locking nuts.
