Removal

Be careful not to damage parts located under the vehicle (floor under cover, fuel filter, fuel tank, and canister) when lifting the vehicle with a lift. (Refer to General Information - Jack Lifting Points and Support Points)

1. 1
   Remove the engine cover. (Refer to Engine and Transaxle Assembly - Engine Cover)
2. 2
   Drain the engine oil. (Refer to Lubrication System - "Engine Oil")
3. 3
   Remove the lower oil pan (A). Insert the SST blade (09215-3C000) between the upper oil pan and the lower oil pan. Cut the applied sealant and remove the lower oil pan.

   

   Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces of the upper oil pan and the lower oil pan.

   Insert the SST between the lower oil pan and the upper oil pan by tapping it with a plastic hammer in the direction of arrow ①. After tapping the SST with a plastic hammer along the direction of arrow ② around more than 2/3 of the edge of the lower oil pan, remove it from the upper oil pan. Do not pry the SST abruptly without tapping, as the SST may be damaged.

4. 4
   Remove the lower oil pan.
5. 5
   Disconnect the wiring harness connector of the oil pump solenoid valve extension (A).

   

6. 6
   Disconnect the oil pump solenoid valve connector (A).

   

7. 7
   Remove the front muffler. (Refer to Intake and Exhaust System - "Muffler")
8. 8
   Separate the compressor. (Refer to Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning - "Compressor")
9. 9
   Remove the left exhaust manifold support (A).

   Tightening torque: 24.5–35 N·m

   

10. 10
    Remove the right exhaust manifold support (A).

    Tightening torque: 24.5–35 N·m

    

11. 11
    Remove the expansion tank. (Refer to Intake and Exhaust System - "Expansion Tank")
12. 12
    Remove the left and right cylinder head covers. (Refer to Cylinder Head Assembly - "Cylinder Head Cover")
13. 13
    Install the engine support. (Refer to Automatic Transaxle - "Special Service Tools").
14. 14
    Remove the timing chain cover. (Refer to Valve Timing - Timing Chain Cover)
15. 15
    Remove the oil pump chain tensioner (A).

    Tightening Torque: 9.8–11.8 N·m

    

16. 16
    Remove the oil pump chain sprocket (A).

    Tightening torque: 19.6–24 N·m

    

17. 17
    Remove the transaxle mounting bolt (A) and the upper oil pan mounting bolt (B). Tightening torque: Bolt (A): 39.2–46 N·m; Bolt (B): 9.8–11.8 N·m

    

18. 18
    Insert the SST blade (09215-3C000) between the upper oil pan and the cylinder block. Cut the applied sealant and remove the upper oil pan (A).

    Tightening Torque: 9.8–11.8 N·m

    

Installation

1. 1
   Install the lower oil pan (A).

   1. Using a gasket scraper, remove all old gasket material from the gasket surfaces.
   2. Before assembling the oil pan, apply liquid gasket TB 1217H to the oil pan. Assemble the parts within 5 minutes after applying the sealant.

      Bead width: 2.5 mm (0.1 in)

      

      Clean the mating surfaces before assembling the two parts. Remove harmful foreign material from the sealing surface before applying sealant. When applying the sealing gasket, make sure the sealant does not protrude into the oil pan. To prevent oil leaks, apply sealant to the gasket and to the internal threads of the bolt holes.

   3. Install the oil pan (A). Tighten the bolts evenly in several passes.

      Tightening torque: 11.8–13.7 N·m

      

2. 2
   After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
3. 3
   Install the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
4. 4
   Install the upper oil pan.

   a.	Using a gasket scraper, remove all old gasket material from the gasket surfaces.

   b.

   Before assembling the oil pan, apply liquid gasket TB 1217H to the oil pan. Assemble the parts within 5 minutes after applying the sealant. Bead width: 2.5 mm (0.1 in) Clean the mating surfaces before assembling the two parts. Remove harmful foreign material from the sealing surface before applying sealant. When applying the sealing gasket, make sure the sealant does not protrude into the oil pan. To prevent oil leaks, apply sealant to the gasket and to the internal threads of the bolt holes.

5. 5
   Install the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
