Oil Pan Installation

  1. Remove the old liquid gasket from the oil pan mating surfaces, the bolts, and the bolt holes.
  2. Clean and dry the oil pan mating surfaces.
  3. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0003, 08718-0004, or 08718-0009) to the engine block mating surface of the oil pan and to the inside edge of the threaded bolt holes. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
    NOTE:
    • Apply a 3 mm (0.12 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (A).
    • If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
    • If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
