Oil Pan Removal/Installation: Notes

OIL AND CHEMICAL TYPE

Silicone sealant
Type: TB1217D or equivalent
WARNING:
  • Hot engines and engine oil can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it and the engine oil have cooled.
  • A vehicle that is lifted but not securely supported on safety stands is dangerous. It can slip or fall, causing death or serious injury. Never work around or under a lifted vehicle if it is not securely supported on safety stands.
  • Continuous exposure to USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with soap and water immediately after working with engine oil.
CAUTION:
  • When installing the oil pan, refer to the Oil Pan Installation Note and apply the silicone sealant correctly. If the silicone sealant application position is incorrect or there is any break in the application track, engine oil leakage will occur due to a poor seal.
