Oil Pan

Cleaning

 CAUTION: Do not damage the oil level sensor (if equipped) when cleaning the oil pan.

Scrape any dirt or metal particles from the inside of the pan. Scrape all old gasket material from the gasket surface. Wash the pan in a solvent and dry it thoroughly. Ensure all foreign particles are removed.

Inspection

Check the pan for cracks, holes or damaged drain plug threads. Check the gasket surface for damage caused by over-tightened bolts. Replace with a new oil pan if service cannot be made.
