The manufacturer recommends removing the engine and transaxle assembly to perform this procedure. To begin, drain the engine oil. Next, remove the bolts and nuts securing Oil Pan No. 2 to the larger cast aluminum oil pan. If it is stuck, tap it loose with a rubber-tipped mallet or carefully cut the sealant with a putty knife and hammer. Remove the oil pump pickup tube/strainer assembly and then the bolts and nuts securing oil pan No. 1 to the engine block. Carefully pry the oil pan loose from the engine block, being cautious to only pry in the designated areas. Remove the O-rings from the bottom of the engine block and, if necessary, the sheet metal baffle plate. For installation, first install the baffle plate if it was removed. Clean the mating surfaces of the block and oil pan and ensure the threaded holes in the block are clean. Install new O-rings on the block and check the flange of the steel oil pan for distortion. Flatten and restore the gasket surface if needed. Inspect and clean the strainer before installing it with a new gasket. Apply RTV sealant to the upper oil pan flange and position the pan onto the block, tightening the fasteners in several steps. Apply RTV sealant to the flange of the No. 2 oil pan, position it on the upper oil pan, and install the bolts. The remainder of the installation is the reverse of removal. Add oil, install a new filter, run the engine, and check for leaks.
