Oil Pan Installation

  1. Remove all of the old liquid gasket from the oil pan mating surfaces, bolts, and bolt holes.
  2. Clean and dry the oil pan mating surfaces.
  3. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009) to the engine block mating surface of the oil pan and to the inside edge of the 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 too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.

  4. Install the oil pan.
  5. Tighten the bolts in three steps. In the final step, tighten all bolts, in sequence, to 12 N.m (1.2 kgf.m, 8.8 lbf.ft). Wipe off the excess liquid gasket on the each side of crankshaft pulley and drive plate.
    NOTE:
    • Wait at least 30 minutes to allow the liquid gasket to cure before filling the engine with oil.
    • Do not run the engine for at least 3 hours after installing the oil pan.

  8. If the engine is still in the vehicle, do steps 9 through 31.
  9. Using the subframe adapter and a jack, raise the subframe up to body (see step 17 under ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
  10. Loosely install the new 14 x 1.5 mm bolts (see step 18 under ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
  11. Align all reference marks on the front subframe with the body, then tighten the bolts on the front subframe to the specified torque (see step 19 under ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
  12. Tighten the new subframe mounting bolts on both side (see step 20 under ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
  13. Lower the vehicle on the lift.
  14. Loosen the upper torque rod mounting bolt (see step 8 under ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
  15. Raise the vehicle on the lift.
  16. Install the lower torque rod, then tighten the new lower torque rod mounting bolts in the numbered sequence shown (see step 21 under ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
  17. Lower the vehicle on the lift.
  18. Tighten the upper torque rod mounting bolt (see step 24 under ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
  19. Install the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) filter.

  20. Install the bolts securing the left steering gearbox mounting bracket (see step 28 under ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
  21. Install the bolts securing the right steering gearbox mounting bracket (see step 29 under ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
  22. Install the power steering (P/S) fluid line bracket and secure the hose with the hose clamps (see step 30 under ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
  23. 4WD model: Install the propeller shaft (see PROPELLER SHAFT INSTALLATION ).
  24. Install a new set ring on the end of each driveshaft, then install the driveshafts. Make sure each ring "clicks" into place in the differential and intermediate shaft.
  25. Connect the lower arms to the knuckles (see step 8 under LOWER ARM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  26. Connect the stabilizer links to the stabilizer bar.
  27. Install the shift cable (see step 39 under TRANSMISSION INSTALLATION ).
  28. Install the three way catalytic converter (TWC). Use new gaskets and new self-locking nuts. Connect the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor connector and secondary heated oxygen sensor (secondary HO2S) connector (see step 36 under ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
  29. Install the splash shield (see step 37 under ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
  30. Install the front wheels.
  31. Check the wheel alignment (see WHEEL ALIGNMENT ).
